Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Start with the website. The primary portal into the Jewish Teen Alliance is the JTA's website. At JewishTeenAlliance.org you can find everything you need to know about the JTA's mission, events and programming. Register for the website to receive regular updates about JTA events and important notice. Or, if you don't want to register, send an email or call the JTA's head office to get more information.

2. Attend an event. Since the Jewish Teen Alliance is an informal group that does not require formal membership, the best way to join up is to just start going to JTA events. The JTA's calendar is one of the most prominent features on the groups websites. You can also personalize the calendar by setting aside and marking JTA events that interest you. So, pick out some good events and start getting involved.

3. Enroll in one of the sister programs. The Jewish Teen Alliance is at its core an alliance of different Jewish youth programming and organizations. To join the JTA, you need only join one of the organizations or programs that comprise the JTA. Pick from organizations like Bay Area Jewish Service Learning Project or the Jewish Teen Coalition to become a member of the Jewish Teen Alliance.

4. Submit your own organization. If you are a member or director of a Jewish youth or educational organization that has a mission similar to that of the JTA, then you can request to become a part of the Jewish Teen Alliance. Call, email or write to the head office of the JTA, located in San Francisco. The office will tell you all you need to know for your organization to join the Jewish Teen Alliance.
