Continuous professional development and peer collaboration also help educators address these challenges and enhance their teaching strategies.

Perlman Camp

Organization Summary: BBYO is the leading pluralistic, Jewish teen movement and has been providing exceptional leadership programs and identity enrichment experiences for more than 90 years.

Perlman Summer is a 6-week program which includes International Leadership Training Conference (ILTC) and International Kallah. ILTC is designed to hone leadership skills for teens serving (or aspiring to serve) as regional BBYO position-holders in their home communities.  ILTC participants often become the top leaders of the BBYO teen movement, gaining skills in recruitment, program planning and civic engagement.  Kallah is a Jewish learning and spirituality institute that inspires teens to explore their Jewish identities and interests in a diverse, pluralistic setting encouraging questioning and experimentation.  Kallah participants gain important Judaic skills and come away feeling a deeper connection to Jewish study, Israel, and community.  Both programs are expected to reach 200 teens.
