Teen Social Action Group
The PSCJ Teen Social Action Group meets monthly, always combining a social action project such as visiting a shelter where abused women live with their children with something fun, like eating pizza or bowling. For more information, contact DINA GARFINKEL.
DINA GARFINKEL has been running teen programs in Brownstone Brooklyn since 2001 and exclusively with PSJC since 2008. Dina also worked many summers as a counselor than Rosh Aidah at Camp Ramah in Wisconson, and served one year as madricha for Nativ the Conservative movement’s leadership program in Israel. When not coming up with fun programs to have with PSJC teens, Dina works in the financial district as a Web & Interactive Project Manager, and is a mother of 3 non-teens.
For 2011 we will be creating programs around a Jewish World Watch (http://www.jewishworldwatch.org/) project. So, we’ll have planning meetings/brainstorming and ultimately a community project related to one of the JWW causes:
