NFTY Goes Big in April

Home » NFTY Goes Big in April

April is known for many things… rain showers, warmer weather, and flowers just to name a few. For NFTY, April is “NFTY’s Big Month” – it’s when each region has at least one event and 2,000 teens are engaged in all different kinds of programs, ranging from mental health and wellness to leadership training; sexual violence prevention to Israel; Torah to racial justice. Even though we’re covering some serious topics, we’re making plenty of time for fun, friendship, and joy!

NFTYites are leading and participating in inspiring, thought-provoking programs all year long. It’s especially exciting to know that so many teens are a part of this collective experience this month. Our entire Movement is coming together all month long!

No matter where you are, you can follow along with the excitement! Follow NFTY on Instagram to stay up to date on the latest happenings and get an inside look at events. Have your own experience to share? Tag @officialNFTY in your photos – who knows? You may end up on the NFTY Instagram!
