Middle School Volunteen for a Day

Open to 6-8 Graders  |  Apr 7, 2026
Hosted by: JCC & 4Front

Taste of Volunteen on Monday and Tuesday, April 6 and 7. This is a great opportunity for new TNTs to get a preview of what the summer will be like, for returning or graduating TNTs to reconnect with their campers, and for friends who may not have signed up for a summer program to come experience TNT firsthand.

The day is structured very similarly to a typical summer day. We’ll meet at 9:00 am in the Teen Commons, then head down to the ELC for the morning. In the afternoon, we’ll come back together for lunch, games, sports, and camp-style activities, before wrapping up at 4:00 pm.

The cost is $40 for members and $50 for non-members. Teens can attend one day or both, whatever works best for your schedule.

Please feel free to invite friends! Participants do not need to have prior or future Volunteen experience to join us.

Appreciation

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.
