Leadership Opportunities

Da lifnei mi atah omed
דע לפני מי אתה עומד

Know before whom you stand.
(Talmud B’rachot 28b)

The URJ is committed to investing in community-based teen engagement across the Reform Movement. Our camps, congregations, clergy, educators and youth professionals are continuously working together in more integrated ways to create new, modern year-round pathways for teens to build Jewish community, develop leadership and deepen Reform Jewish identity locally and regionally. We believe that the future of Reform teen engagement is not one single model, but a connected ecosystem of experiences and relationships that meet teens where they are and help them grow over time. 

In addition to regional leadership opportunities, the URJ offers a suite of URJ Teen Fellowships. The URJ Teen Fellowships are a diverse range of offerings designed to help teens learn, grow, make an impact, and build community in a way that reflects their interests and passions. Fellowship offerings include opportunities such as the Madrichim Fellowship (in partnership with ARJE), RAC Teen Justice Fellowship, & Teen Jews of Color Fellowship.
