Uh, is that a giraffe and Oscar the Grouch? Nope, it's actually 4Front's new Co-Directors, Sam Kahan Strakes and Diana Solomon! As we’re sure you’ve heard, 4Front recently bid farewell to our beloved Executive Director Rabbi Dena Shaffer last month. Today, we are excited to officially announce that these two familiar faces will be stepping up as 4Front's new Co-Managing Senior Directors. We know 4Front is in great hands and will continue to thrive under their trusted leadership! #4Front #4FrontBaltimore #StaffUpdate #isitPurimyet?

What an incredible opportunity on Sunday to offer the virtual experience #FACTUALITY or over 70 TEENS as part of Teen Service Council and Jewish Volunteer Connection's #MLKDay of Service!

Baltimore’s Diller Teen Fellows had the opportunity to learn more about sharpening their leadership skills and some of the essential “tools” that leaders have. They also completed a virtual escape room to test their ability to both lead and work together as a team!

These words rung true then and they certainly ring

These words rung true then and they certainly ring true now. Yesterday was a challenging day to say the least as our Capitol and Democracy were under attack. We know you’re still processing and so are we. Whatever emotions you’re feeling are valid. Please know our 4Front staff are here for any teens who need someone to talk to, to listen, or lean on- just reach out

Meet Jack Gordon, a sophomore at McDonogh who likes skateboarding, tennis, and 4Front programs, of course! Jack has taken advantage of 4Front’s short term program options participating in both this fall’s STAC Election Series and the current Social Innovation Fellowship Intensive. At 4Front, Jack likes “that we get to do meaningful activities while meeting new teens at the same time. With all of the 4Front programs I have been in, I have found that I always leave the program with useful information, important lessons, and some new friends.”

Things have been pretty difficult this year with COVID-19. Jack wants adults to know just how much stress teens are currently under, “with a combination of school, COVID, and friends, there is a lot going on in everybody's life.” He hopes adults and parents can be understanding, patient and “offer as much support as possible” to help teens through these challenging times. 4Front also wants teens to know we’re here for you too and together we’ll get through it! Thanks for being another awesome teen on the 4Front, Jack! #Findmeonthe4Front #teens #covid

“How lucky I am to have something that makes say

“How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.” We are sad but proud to share the bittersweet news of some staffing changes here at #4Front. This month, the 4Front family will be saying goodbye to two of our dedicated staff members, Executive Director Rabbi Dena Shaffer and Director of Relational Engagement Jeff Snyder, as they head off to amazing new job opportunities. These two have had an incredible impact on both our team and the community and will be greatly missed. We appreciate their light and we wish them peace and strength (shalom v'chazak) in their new endeavors! We can’t wait to see what they do next!
