Neighbors Link Remote Summer Links Video Project
Families or groups of friends are invited to teach and share a passion like soccer or arts!

Create a video teaching your skill (for example: soccers drill, arts and craft projects), raise funds or donate a supply the clients at Neighbors Link will need to use the video (for example: a soccer ball or craft supplies), and Neighbors Link will share both with their clients.

To get involved or if you have any questions, please contact Dr. Jill Ratner.

Sex, flirting, and romance are of central importance to teens—and, even in this time of social distancing, teens still need their parents’ guidance to navigate this important aspect of their lives.

Join Moving Traditions (the national organization that powers our Rosh Hodesh and Shevet groups) in conversation with Jennifer S. Hirsch and Shamus Kahn, coauthors of the landmark study, Sexual Citizens, who will share their research findings on sex, power, and assault and discuss implications for teens and their parents.
