Teen Collab
Teen Collab is a weekly program that brings Jewish teens from across Westchester together for deep conversations, meaningful learning, and new friendships.
Through interactive classes, workshops, and dialogue with local clergy, teens explore Jewish identity, sharpen leadership skills, and build a strong, connected community—all in a fun and welcoming space.
The program is made up of two modules and takes place on Thursdays from 6:30-8:30 pm at JCC Mid-Westchester and includes dinner. Each module has multiple tracks, which means you get to pick what you learn! For more information and to register for the Teen Collab, click here.
BBYO
In partnership with other local synagogues, we sponsor Simcha BBYO, a youth group for Jewish teens. Our program is dedicated to offering teens the opportunity to connect with one another, make a difference in the world, celebrate their Jewish heritage, and travel the world together.
Events are planned by teens, for teens, and programming ranges from fun activities like ice skating and camping overnights, to communal Shabbat celebrations and leadership trainings. A parent, advisor, or regional staff member is always on hand to ensure safety and health. More information is available at Hudson Valley Region BBYO.
Special Events
KTI offers special teen events throughout the year, including Shabbat dinners, Hanukkah parties, antisemitism seminars through the ADL and more. Stay tuned to our weekly newsletter for updates.
