You Belong Here
The NFTY that teens and adult partners are building NOW is a movement that centers youth leadership; reflects the values, interests, and aspirations of teens and their peers; partners with Reform synagogues and like-minded communities; welcomes alumni/volunteers to be adult allies; and creates a vibrant and powerful youth community where all can experience wholeness, justice, equity, love and joy in their Judaism.
