The teenage years are full of important decisions, new challenges, and big questions for both teens and their families. Our Preparing for What’s Ahead: A Teen and Family Program Series is designed to offer guidance, clarity, and practical tools as teens prepare for what comes next. Through expert-led workshops, conversations, and experiences, this series will explore topics such as preparing for college, navigating social media and digital life, understanding Jewish life on campus today, and learning about meaningful Israel experiences. Each program invites teens and parents to learn together, ask questions, and feel more confident moving forward.

The college application process can feel overwhelming for both teens and parents. In this workshop, parents will gain practical tools and insights on how to best support their teens through applications, essays, and decision-making.
