Programs & Events Just for Teens
JCC Greater Boston is excited to launch a diverse array of teen programs! We understand the importance of teenage years and socializing with others post-COVID, which is why we are building an environment that’s not only fun and energetic but also supportive and meaningful.
With specialized fitness classes tailored to popular workout methods, unique trips to broaden the horizons of its participants, and coming soon an all-new teen lounge for relaxing, playing video games, or doing homework, the teen lounge will be home to those looking for a tightly-knit community that values everyone who walks through our doors.
Introducing the Jewish Story Lab
The Jewish Story Lab (JSL) is a transformative journey designed for students in grades 6-8. JSL offers a unique opportunity for young Jews to explore their identity, build lasting friendships, and gain a deeper understanding of their heritage. Through engaging storytelling, hands-on learning, and community involvement, students will emerge with a stronger sense of self and a heartfelt connection to their Jewish roots.
Diller Teen Fellowship
Diller Teen Fellows is a selective, international leadership program for Jewish teens with a passion for improving the world. This year-long fellowship cultivates leadership skills, strengthens Jewish identity, and fosters a global network, empowering teens to make a positive world impact.
Our carefully chosen group of Boston-area 10th and 11th graders will experience enlightening workshops, hands-on community projects, and unforgettable retreat weekends. The highlight of this program is an immersive three-week seminar in Israel, travelling across the country with other Diller communities while learning about its history, political structure and more.
