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.
