In today’s world every teenager would greatly benefit from a personal mentor. In turn, becoming mentors in their own right to younger students infinitely evolves teenager’s characters. The resulting sense of responsibility and focus are two very important factors that keep a teenager in a positive space. Towards this end Spiritgrow has developed an informal teenage growth program, that follows on from your child’s bar/bat mitzvah.

The program is comprised of:

• discussion groups with leading personalities
• addressing teenage issues
• experimental learning
• community mindedness programs
• friendship and team building activities
• leadership development
• excursions

A very special program they will be introduced to is a mentoring program whereby your son or daughter mentor and take responsibility for other younger members of the community.

The SpiriTeen group meet several times a month for different activities such as:

community kitchen cooking, tutoring, music and drama, cuisine, group discussion, courses (e.g.: food handling course, first aid, etc.), Jewish festival celebration.

As spiriteens runs as a club, your child will be invited to go on excursions and getaways throughout the year. They will receive discounted rates on all of these activities and will be able to bring friends along. Some of these activities may include activities like:

• rock climbing
• paintball shooting
• beach trips
• BBQ’s
• weekends away and shabbatons

The SpiriTeen program members will be provided with opportunities to discover and discuss a variety of subjects within Judaism and be provided with opportunities to lead community programs (e.g. in a musical, educational or other way).

The SpiriTeen program is a fun filled social based Jewish experience.
