Ma'yan is dedicated to understanding the challenges and issues of Jewish teenage girls, Ma'yan obtains and distributes its knowledge through a variety of programs and publications.

Programs for Girls
We're an incubator for projects and programs that give Jewish teen girls the opportunity to develop valuable real world skills while getting to know themselves, their culture and the world at large. At the same time, we use these sessions to develop and test curricula that can then be replicated by Jewish Youth Professionals within their own organizations.

Current Programs for Girls:
Research Training Internship
Social Justice Apprenticeship
Filmmaking Intensive

Programs for Jewish Youth Professionals
One of Ma'yan's goals is to provide a forum and community in which Jewish Youth Professionals, parents and other adults can exchange ideas, share best practices, and learn new skills. To that end, we host various events throughout the year, ranging from one-time meetings to on-going series. Additionally, we provide support materials in the format.

Current Programs for Jewish Youth Professionals:
Networking Series
Evaded Issues
That's Not Fair! Guide
