Chabad's voluntary after-school programs are crucial for teenagers and preteens, providing an
enriching environment where they can feel safe, enhance social skills, and build self-confidence.
These programs foster personal growth, reduce risky behavior, and empower youth - at their most
vulnerable stage - to become well-rounded, responsible members of society. CTeen creates a unique
venue for Jewish teens to come together in an exciting environment and experience Judaism in a
highly personal and relevant way. The comradeship, confidence, and sense of belonging that the
teens develop is life-changing for the teens, and their revitalized enthusiasm for Jewish leadership
creates a beautiful ripple effect to their families and communities, as the desert community has
experienced firsthand.
