Jewish Service Learning Professional Development

The BBYO Panim Institute is proud to offer ongoing professional development offerings for Jewish educators, service-learning professionals, and youth workers. The sessions include guest teachers to share their expertise, pre-assigned community members to share their personal stories both for feedback and to share best practices, discussion of the issues most raised as of interest to practitioners, and - of course! - time for questions and sharing your best practices. This is an opportunity to build a strong community of learners and facilitators!

Each session provides the opportunity for discussion, questions and learning from the best in class practices of our peers in the field.

What: A monthly professional development session for educators involved with Jewish service learning.

Who: All are encouraged to join us, regardless of experience level.
