September 15-17, 2017 at URJ Eisner Camp
Jewish teens in grades 10-12 (during the 2017-2018 school year) from New York, New Jersey, and New England come together for this annual leadership experience with a unique focus on Jewish Justice, Social Advocacy, and Entrepreneurship.
The Summit is designed to empower teens to become change agents:
- Friday: Coming together as a community and discovering their inspirations.
- Saturday: Learning and shaping an idea.
- Sunday: Producing meaningful impact.
The Summit provides real-life skill building with a focus on entrepreneurship, critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and risk taking. At the end of the Summit, participants pitch their ideas in a "Shark-Tank" style program (#SharkTankMuseum); judges invest real dollars in the most compelling pitches; participants go home inspired and excited about the potential of their own ideas. This is a great event for those looking to create real positive change and add substance to their resumes.
