JFS facilitates a variety of program and groups throughout the year to help educate, support and involve children and families. From parent education programs to projects children and parents can do together, to topics of interest to adults of all ages, and intergenerational activities - these programs are designed to enlighten, stimulate and build community.

JEWISH PARENTING AND GUIDANCE
While there may not be an instruction manual to being a great parent, Judaism provides many resources on this topic. JFS programs provide tools to help parents and foster connections. Topics have included “Positive Discipline”, dealing with ADHD, teaching children about tikkun olam, and understanding LGBTQ issues.
Contact Jenny Schultz, (336) 852-4829 ext. 235.

INTERGENERATIONAL ACTIVITIES
Our Volunteer program, our Chai Notes program, and our Children and Family program all help create meaningful and fun activities for all. Of special interest is our holiday gift bags program where grandparents, parents, and children assemble and deliver gift bags at Rosh Hashana, Chanukah, and Passover. Opportunities for children and older adults to come together run throughout the year.
Call our office for more information, (336) 852-4829.
