Upcoming Opportunities
Mechina
NFTY Mechina is from July 22nd-26th at the URJ Kutz Camp in Warwick, New York.
NFTY Mechina gives leaders in NFTY an opportunity to come to NFTY’s home for the summer to learn and progress alongside leaders throughout the 19 regions of NFTY. There will be network times for incoming boards to receive position specific training, along with incubator tracks for regional delegates to receive knowledge to bring back to their home region. This is an opportunity for all of our movement to join together for 5 days to get prepared for the year ahead!

Leadership Programs
Exploring and Discovering One’s Leadership Qualities
Looking for an educational, fun, AND interactive program? Well, then this is perfect! This activity helps to explore one’s prominent leadership skills by taking a quiz, discussing, and eventually making t-shirts! This is an activity that can be done with a flexible size group in various types of locations!
Looking for an activity that can be great to do at an Old Board/ New Board training or just with a group of intentive leaders? Here is a generational leadership activity that emphasises the importance of those leaders who came before us and those who will come afterwards.
