NFTY CAR has 21 active youth groups from all across the Chicagoland area and Champaign-Urbana. A TYG is a Temple Youth Group or sometimes called a Senior Youth Group. If you are a 9th - 12th grader and a member of a URJ Congregation you are a member of your synagogue's youth group. They are a great opportunity to meet and socialize with Jewish teens outside of a religious school setting. TYGs are the foundation of NFTY CAR - a youth group is a place to meet new friends, learn more about Judaism, and have a great time.
These youth groups are each unique and different. They do all kinds of amazing activities: bowling, whirlyball, havdallah, Second City, and many more. Each TYG has an advisor and with their TYG board plan monthly programs, many TYGs have more than just one activity a month including weekly youth lounge hang out nights. We'll be posting what's going on with each TYG througout the year. Stay Tuned for more updates...
