Teen Volunteer Program

Gateways has been the most meaningful part of my high school experience. It has helped me grow as a person as well as deepened my connections with those around me. I’ve learned valuable skills at Gateways that I know I will use for the rest of my life. I’m so so thankful for this program!

Samantha, Teen Volunteer Gateways Sunday Program

I have loved volunteering with Gateways these past three years. Applying to become a volunteer was the best decision I ever made. It has been a truly fulfilling volunteer experience. I highly suggest that any Jewish teen currently in grades 9–11 apply to this program. Thank you, Gateways, for opening up the gates to my future and guiding me along this path!

Over the past three years, I have looked forward to Sundays because I have Gateways. I love every minute I spend there, and I always learn new things.

Make a Difference: Become a Champion of Inclusion

If you are a Boston-area teen in grades 10 – 12, you can apply to be a volunteer in Gateways’ Jewish Education Programs!

Our Teen Volunteer Program isn’t your average volunteer experience. What makes our program stand out is not the skillset you’ll gain or the volunteer hours you’ll collect, but the relationships that you’ll build with students as you support them in experiencing a Jewish education that is both accessible and meaningful.

Volunteers receive weekly training and support from on-site special education teachers and administrators, learning valuable skills they can take with them to college and beyond.
