Beyond the Page: Teens Using Creative Expression to Explore Family, Disability, and Life’s Big Experiences

Thursday, February 5 | 7:00 p.m.
The Jewish Library of Baltimore | 5700 Park Heights Ave.
Open to teens ages 12+. Parents/guardians welcome but not required to accompany.

Join us for an evening of conversation, reflection and creativity as two local teen writers explore how storytelling can shed light on disability and family experiences.

Ava K. Perlin, a high school senior and author of One in a Millieon, will be in dialogue with fellow high school senior Ava Blockston. Both have siblings who have disabilities and have used writing as a tool to navigate the complex emotions that can come with this experience.

Together, they will discuss how creative expression can help teens process emotions. Their insights will resonate with teens who share similar family dynamics as well as anyone interested in using writing as a meaningful outlet.

Candy salad will be served.

Free and open to the community. Registration required.

This event is proudly in partnership with 4Front and The Associated: Jewish Federation of Baltimore in honor of Jewish Disability Awareness, Acceptance and Inclusion Month (JDAIM).

Twenty Years of Leadership: Diller Alumni Reflect Across Generations
We invited fellows from cohorts five, ten, fifteen, and twenty years out to reflect on how Diller shaped their leadership, Jewish identity, and sense of responsibility, both then and now. Across different stages of life, one truth rings clear: Diller doesn’t end when the program does.

Appreciation

Previous Next
Hannah P.

I was interested in joining PLF to be able to connect with other Jewish teens, since there aren’t a lot at my school. My participation has taught me that reaching out to people I don’t necessarily know that well or are friends with doesn’t have to be something bad or nerve racking. In fact most people are extremely willing to help and it brought a sense of community that made me really happy.

-Hannah P.

Jakub L.

The Social Innovation Fellowship was an overall great experience. I learned many new skills that I will use later in life. I also made new friends and was able to connect with the community and my Judaism through the program.

-Jakub L.

Nancy Solomon

I’m happy to say I’m learning and growing as a parent of two teens, with 4Front’s support. Thank you for offering this pertinent network during this critical time in all of our lives.

My experience in the Social Innovation Fellowship was amazing. I learned so many new skills about entrepreneurship and life that I can use in the future.
