The CYC is a committee that actively supports the goals of our youth groups;
GORFTY and OAFTY. We are a group of committed adults and youth leaders who
share ways in which we can increase the participation amongst our CRJ teens
and preteens to stay involved with the activities of our synagogue. It is
our desire to foster heightened connections to Judaism, support profound educational
experiences, and help to instill meaningful relationships among teens.
As advocates for our youth, we maintain a connection between the CRJ Board
and our youth through assisting in creating youth group policy, hiring and
supervising of advisors, as well as being a structured group of sponsors for
the continuation of strong youth groups that foster long-term commitment to
the ideals and values of Reform Judaism.
