• To nurture the further exploration of our Jewish teen's identity,
• Build teen connections to Jewish experience in our community by providing

as disseminating information to parents and teens about other opportunities
of Jewish programming that are not connected to the site (such as summer
camps, Israel programs, and other teen programs).
