#1 DHAP: Downtown Hunger Action Project
Hunger is something we see and face everyday. DHAP is a monthly community service project for teens to learn, respond, and get involved in hunger and homeless issues in New York. Students deliver food to the homeless and learn how to advocate on behalf of the less fortunate. It’s a great mitzvah and also a great way to earn community service hours for your school.
Students meet one Saturday night per month (6:30pm – 10:00pm) with Jewish educators and rabbis to study and to serve.

#2 College Tours Bus – this Fall
Get on the Tamid College Tour bus to visit 4-5 schools this Fall. Students will tour campuses with Tamid alumni and get a sense of small, medium, large, private and state universities. This is a great opportunity for teens to explore the college experience without their parents! You’ll get to see things directly from your own lens and to ask your most compelling questions and get honest answers. For Tamid members only. Led by Rabbi Scott Weiner and Christina Broussard.
Please RSVP to Christina and for more information!
$500 per student – all inclusive

#4 Tamid’s Teaching Assistants Program
Tamid’s Teacher’s Assistant Program is a paid internship for 8th-12th grade students who are graduates of our B’nai Mitzvah course.

TA’s must be available during the NYC public school calendar school year for classes offered on Wednesday or Thursday afternoons.
