What We Do
Student to Student
Jewish Federation of Greater Dallas is thrilled to partner with Be the Narrative to launch the nationally-recognized Student to Student program in Dallas.
Why Student to Student?
Student to Student is a proven, classroom-based experiential program that brings Jewish and non-Jewish high school students together to learn about Judaism through personal storytelling. Jewish high school Student Presenters visit local high schools with few, if any, Jewish students to share their Jewish practices and experiences. Student to Student is the signature program of Be The Narrative, a national 501 (c)(3) organization.
Testimonials

"Being in the Student to Student program has given me a platform to make a visible impact through sharing my experiences as a Jewish teen. I’ve especially loved getting to connect with students and seeing such interest on the receiving end. I feel proud that I am making a difference in reducing anti-Jewish stereotypes and am very thankful to have been given this unique platform to do so."

“Student to Student is an incredible program that brought me leadership skills, enhanced my abilities to think and react on-the-fly, learn more about other religions, and also hear about the various branches of my own. It was a very necessary and empowering place for my growth as a Jewish teen.”
