JKG B Mitzvah or Teen Teacher
JKG is hiring B Mitzvah and Teen Teachers to support our Sunday morning programs for older students. Depending on the program placement, teachers may work with middle school students in the JKG B Mitzvah Program or teen students in the Teen Leadership Academy.
The JKG B Mitzvah Program offers a unique and meaningful way for students to become Jewish adults. Our in-person experience blends Jewish learning and community service, culminating in a group B Mitzvah celebration.

The Teen Leadership Academy provides teens with opportunities to continue building Jewish community, explore leadership, and engage in meaningful Jewish learning and service.
