Welcome to YOUTH FOCUS, a list for professionals and lay leaders committed to informal education in Reconstructionist communities.� As part of No'ar Hadash, the JRF Youth Programming Network, this list will serve as a resource for strengthening youth programming in congregations and havurot across North America.

Use this list to ask for ideas, share successes, brainstorm how to overcome obstacles, discuss the state of informal education in your community, and bring a sense of connection between youth programs throughout our movement.� Incredible programs are happening in JRF communities across the continent, and sharing these with one another will only help to strengthen us as individuals and as a group.

This webpage also contains a calendar of youth events, an archive of posts to the list, and other resources for those who work with youth.� Please feel free to invite others to join this group so that we can build upon each other and continue to form a new and vibrant youth network within the Reconstructionist movement.

For more information about this list, about No'ar Hadash, or about any of the programs of the JRF Youth Programming Network (including Camp JRF), please e-mail info@noarhadash.org.
