Our Education and Outreach Team has been working to develop updated curriculum that can be adapted for your group. We offer programming that includes education, hands-on activities, and a volunteer experience for kids and adults of all ages. Are you looking for a way to incorporate The Ark into your next lesson or unit on tzedakah, what it means to give back, social justice, or tikkun olam? We’d be happy to make a plan that fits the needs of your group.
One goal of our community programs is to help to diffuse the sense of “us and them” when it comes to people needing help from their community, and from The Ark. Knowing that any individual or family could be faced with a significant challenge at any time, our community educators facilitate activities and discussions to highlight some of the reasons that someone may need help, and often without warning. We do this by engaging participants in conversation about some of the real challenges that many in our local Jewish community are facing.
