wise temple youth
(WTY): Grades 8-12
WTY Sundays: bi-monthly, 6:00-8:00pm
Board Meetings: 5:00-6:00pm
Join other Wise temple middle and high school students for a traditional youth group experience to explore teen life, Jewish identity, and social action - all while making connections to Wise peers, educators, and clergy. No two Sundays will be the same, and sessions will range from facilitated conversations and Teen Board-led games, to visiting a food bank, going bowling, running a Chocolate Seder for Passover, or leading a White Elephant exchange while eating DIY latkes, all while making friends, building confidence, and learning leadership sills. Run for positions on the Teen Board for opportunities to gain additional responsibility and volunteer hours! Positions include President, Religious & Cultural VP, and Grade Reps!
Plus, join us for any of our 3 Mini Courses: Imigration Justice, L’Taken, or Confirmation for Grade 12 and make the most out of your experience!
Join us bimonthly on Sundays from 6:00-8pm to deepen your connection to the Wise community and make friends and memories for years to come! Registration for the 2021/2022 academic year is open NOW!
