Twelve and Thirteen

The unique b’nei mitzvah program focused on growing gratitude and empathy in a year that is often all about parties and presents. Since 2015 we’ve been broadening young people’s awareness of social issues – up close. Our diverse volunteering experiences involve the family. It’s not about “dropping off to do good”. Our parents, grandparents, aunts or uncles join the young person in our monthly sessions to learn, share and grow together.

Our families help people in need through face-to-face volunteering experiences in small groups. We then dovetail our in person sessions with digital connections – from online sessions, to our innovative pods, connecting our young people with their peers to discuss the issues facing our world, community and each other.

Ours is a 10 month program that provides flexibility in session times in an inclusive environment. We make a real difference with our charity partners in sessions that usually run for 2 hours, once a month. We complement other b’nei mitzvah programs, offering something truly unique and life changing. Join us in growing the next generation of givers.
