JTeen invests in dynamic, locally-driven programs that inspire teens to explore, strengthen, and take pride in their Jewish identity and culture. We also serve as a trusted resource, helping teens and their families navigate the Atlanta Jewish community to find the programs and opportunities that best fit their interests and passions.
RootOne supports Jewish teens in exploring Israel through immersive, meaningful travel experiences that spark personal growth and build lasting confidence.
Open your home to a Shinshin for a semester and experience something truly special. Hosting is a unique opportunity to build a lasting connection with Israel, deepen your family’s Jewish identity, and give back to our shared homeland in a meaningful way.
Teen Scholarships offer financial support directly to Jewish teens in Atlanta, ages 13–18, to attend Jewish immersive overnight programs or events—locally or nationally. Scholarships can cover up to 50% of the program cost (up to $500), with an additional $100 subsidy for first-time participants.
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis and must be submitted before registering for the program. Teens may receive one scholarship per school year. Once approved, JTeen provides a discount code for registration. Contact Leah Stinson at lstinson@jewishatlanta.org if you have questions.
