JTEEN is the Jewish Teen Educational Experiences Network of Greater MetroWest, connecting teens to unique, fun, and educational Jewish experiences.
Whether developing leadership skills or learning together with their Israeli peers, our region’s teens discover the importance of tikkun olam, tzedakah, and philanthropy. Our unique programs help teens develop the skills, knowledge, and experience to make a real impact on our world, both today and far into the future.
Check out the JTEEN calendar for a list of upcoming teen programs.
