BATY  

BATY (Beth Am Temple Youth) is a teen designed and led program for 9th -12th grade students which is supervised by adult youth professionals. BATY works to help instill Jewish identity and commitment to community through leadership development, Jewish education, religious and social action, worship, personal growth, and fun.

BATY’s leadership board members plan exciting programming for peers throughout the year including social action, religious, cultural, educational, and recreational activities. Each year the group designs and leads a teen Yom Kippur service, coordinates the congregation’s Purim Carnival, and hosts a beach bonfire on Lag B’Omer. BATY’s social action efforts focused on educating the public about the genocide in Darfur as well as raising funds and awareness of modern-day AIDS issues. Past events included a Pink Floyd Shabbaton, attendance at a comedy improv performance, a city-wide shul-in, a Sukkot pumpkin carving competition, a camping trip, havdalah, movies, mayhem and much more. Many BATY members participate in North American Federation of Temple Youth (NFTY) regional conclaves bringing together Reform movement teens from Alaska, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, Montana and Idaho.

Mitzvah Corps  

Mitzvah Corps allows Reform Jewish teens to experience social action at its best. Our program combines direct hands-on involvement in communities that need the energy, dedication, and love that youth provide with programs rooted in Jewish social and ethical issues.

Participants will have the chance to live communally with other teens and build their own community, while at the same time engaging in meaningful social justice work, and while having fun!
