What JTN is

More than another thing on their schedule

JTN is where Jewish teens in Bucks County find each other. Teens meet other Jewish teens, volunteer together, learn together, celebrate together and actually have a good time doing it. Nobody is quizzed on how much they know, and nobody has to arrive with a friend already in the room.

For parents: this is a Jewish community your teen chooses to keep coming back to. For teens: come for the event, stay because somehow everybody knows your name.

Programs

Find your thing

Some teens come for the trips. Some come for volunteering. Some come because their friend dragged them once and it stuck.

For parents

They find their people. You know they're somewhere good.

  • A Jewish community they choose

    Teens keep coming back because of the people, not because it is scheduled for them.

  • Friendships across schools

    Teens meet other Jewish teens they would never cross paths with otherwise.

  • Service and leadership

    Volunteering and Ambassador roles give teens real responsibility.

  • Belonging without pressure

    Every level of Jewish background is welcome, and nothing is a prerequisite.

Teen and parent voices

In their words

What teens and parents across Bucks County say about a year with JTN.

  • I came to the kickoff not knowing one person and left with a group chat that never stopped. CTeen is the part of my week I actually look forward to.
    Maya R.Junior, Council Rock
  • The Shabbaton was the first time I was in a room with hundreds of Jewish teens my age. Everyone was just proud to be there, and so was I.
    Ari L.Senior, Pennsbury
  • My daughter joined for the food and the friends. What she got was confidence and a Jewish community she chose for herself.
    Dana S.JTN parent, Newtown
  • Times Square with thousands of CTeeners is something I will tell my kids about. Chaim and Nina made sure nobody felt like an outsider.
    Jonah B.CTeen International, Class of 2025
  • Washington DC was not a school trip. We learned our own history, ate way too much, and came home closer than when we left.
    Talia K.Sophomore, Central Bucks East
  • The volunteer projects gave my son service hours, but he keeps going back for the people. That says everything about JTN.
    Michael W.JTN parent, Yardley

Support JTN

Help make the next experience possible

Community support is what keeps events running, trips affordable and doors open to every Jewish teen in Bucks County, regardless of what a family can contribute.

There's room for one more.

Come to one event. Bring a friend or don't, you'll know people by the end of the night.
