The Campaign for Youth Engagement
is a focused, strategic effort to leverage the full strength and talent
of every corner of the Reform Movement to engage and retain the
majority of our youth by the year 2020. Learn more about our campaign.
How will we do it?
With the best, well-trained, dedicated PEOPLE. We commit to investing in people who work with our youth and families, providing training, a career path and a valued staff role, and strengthening the status of the field.
With PARTNERSHIPS that enable us to engage in Jewish life together. We commit to establishing building community and relationships as primary goals in all we do in our institutions.
With unbroken PATHWAYS to lifelong Jewish living and learning. We commit to investing in immersive Jewish experiences and forging institutional connections to ensure smooth transitions for youth and families as they develop and navigate their own Jewish journeys.
With the Campaign for Youth Engagement as PRIORITY NUMBER ONE. We commit to prioritize our youth, and to hold ourselves accountable for fulfilling these commitments.
The URJ offers a family of programs to help engage the new generation, ages 8 to 26, in Jewish life. These opportunities include NFTY teen programming, URJ Camps, Israel travel experiences and social justice programming at the Religious Action Center.
