Madrichim Program: Teen Leadership and Learning

The Madrichim: Teen Leadership & Learning Program is a chance for post-b'nai mitzvah teens (and/or Jewish teens in 8th-12th grades) to give back to our TBY and JCAL community. Madrich/Madrichah means “guide” in Hebrew. Madrichim (plural) serve as the teachers' assistants for JCAL. The program is designed to develop participants' social and leadership skills, and expand their Jewish knowledge. It is a personal growth experience tailored to each participant!

The Madrichim Program is a weekly commitment of every scheduled JCAL session (Sundays, September 10, 2023 - May 5, 2024). You can find the
Madrichim/JCAL calendar here.  Each teen will be assigned to a class/teacher, based on your interests and the school's need. Madrichim can earn community service hours or hourly wages for this program.*
 
Duties may include:
  • Helping with classroom management
  • Mentoring younger students
  • Supporting class projects, including running activities and small groups
  • Taking attendance and assisting a teacher as needed
  • Developing activities and icebreakers to engage students
To be a Madrich/ah, you must commit to attending:
  • At least 90% of JCAL sessions for your assigned class**
  • Regional Day of Learning and Orientation, August 27, 9:00 am - 2:00 pm
    Hebrew Lab only: Hebrew Team Orientation, Sunday, August 13, 9:30 am - 12:00 pm
  • Weekly Madrichim Debrief immediately following your program (10-15 minutes each)

This year the Madrichim Program includes learning about once a month, 11:30 am - 12:30 pm. In the Fall this learning will focus on developing madrichim skills, and in the Spring there will be learning with clergy with teens of the same/similar grades to expand your Jewish knowledge and toolbox! Dates for your Fall track will be shared once you've received your madrichim placement.

In order to participate in the Madrichim Program, your parents/guardians must be members in good standing.


After you submit your application, Rabbi Miriam will be in touch to schedule an interview.

*We are excited to offer both options to madrichim this year. You must be 14 to earn wages for this program, and submit the required paperwork, including a Work Permit from your school.

Thank you to generous donors who underwrite the Madrichim Program!
