ACTJC's Youth Education and Leadership Program
ACTJC’s Youth Education and Leadership Program (YELP) is a dynamic Sunday-morning program for children and teens from Kindergarten to Year 7, designed to foster empowered learning, positive Jewish identity, and strong peer relationships.
Moving beyond the traditional “school on the weekend” model, YELP blends meaningful Jewish learning with youth-movement energy, creativity, and fun.
Programs are age-appropriate and intentionally designed, from play-based learning in the early years to intellectually challenging Hebrew and text study for Bnei/Bnot Mitzvah students.
A core pillar of YELP is leadership development, with post–Bar/Bat Mitzvah students trained and employed as Junior Leaders, working alongside experienced educators. Regular social events, holiday programs, and family gatherings help create a warm, inclusive community where young people feel connected, confident, and inspired to lead.
To enrol your child please visit the enrolment page of the website.
We look forward to seeing your enrolment and please do not hesitate to reach out to the ACTJC’s Education Committee if you have any questions about the program. They can be reached via the office: act.admin@actjc.org.au.
We gratefully acknowledge the Board of Progressive Jewish Education for their ongoing financial support of the ACTJC's education programs for the local children.
The ACT Jewish Community Board of Management supports the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations.
