January 2017: What Now? Generation Now - Moving from Research to Action

The Generation Now Research report, released in 2016, provided a new framework from which to view Jewish teen programming. But what happens next? During this webinar, we will:

• Review the 14, field-tested outcomes along with accompanying indicators and measurement tools
• Connect Jewish teen program providers around the country
• Begin to think about how these outcomes necessitate a shift in thinking about teen engagement
• Strategize how to get other stakeholders on board with the changes that these outcomes signify

We apologize but the recording was started after the introduction.
