8th-12th Grade

There are many different ways for teens and their friends to stay connected and get involved this upcoming year at Temple Beth Am. Teens can earn community service hours through volunteering on Sundays and Wednesdays as Madrichim, on Fridays as an AV Media Team Teen, and through other opportunities throughout the year.

Our Teen Nights and Youth Group programming are great opportunities to see your friends, meet new ones, eat together, learn something new, and have fun. There are also leadership opportunities available to help create programing experiences and connecting teens to cultivate Jewish friendships.

Teen Nights: All 8th–12th grade teens are invited to join us every week on Wednesdays from 6:00pm–8:00pm at Temple Beth Am. Every week we will enjoy dinner together and then participate in fun, social, and educational programs. Some highlights for this year will focus on philanthropy, social justice, holiday celebrations, current headlines, and teen-led programing. Every week is different! To stay up to date on each week’s dinner menu and program, check your weekly emails and follow us on Instagram at @jamty.tba!

Madrichim: Volunteer on Sundays and/or Wednesdays during HaMakom’s Religious School. Volunteering is open to 8th–12th graders. Teens will enhance their leadership skills while being mentored by our teachers
