Teens and Young Adults

  Throughout the generations, educators, parents and activists have found that the adolescent and young adult age is the most difficult age to deal with both developmentally and emotionally. Teens have the tendency to rebel against the normal routine. Broken homes, peer pressure, drugs and substance abuse certainly play a major role in shaping today’s young adult. The concern for our community is ever growing, and searching for a way to tackle these issues is becoming increasingly difficult.

  Through our teen and young adult centre, we have been successful in creating an atmosphere that is conducive to giving the teen a sense of belonging and accomplishment, with valuable morals, a home away from home, and a parent who is not worried.

  Some of the programs offered are:

• Chai Cafe- An Alternative Cafe to hang out and meet new friends.
• LagFest - A Lag Baomer Music Festival which attracts 7,000-10,000 people. Organized by the teens with the help from our staff.
• Holiday Parties
• Weekend Retreats - whether to the mountains or New York, the Chai retreats are known amongst the teens and young adults as the best around.
• Summer Trips
• Game Nights
• Birthright Israel Trips
