Madrichim (Leadership) Program

Kesher’s Madrichim (Leadership) Program is open for high school students (9th & 10th graders should also be enrolled in Confirmation class).

By becoming a Madrich(a), high schoolers will serve as a teacher’s assistant in one of our Kesher groups on Sunday mornings. Madrichim help teachers with daily activities such as: leading small groups, taking attendance, helping with art projects, working with students who need some extra attention, and most importantly, serving as a Jewish role models for younger children.

Working as a Madrich/Madricha, teens can choose between pay and community service hours. While madrichim assist teachers in classroom tasks, their responsibilities go beyond the administrative duties suggested by the term “teachers’ assistant.” As madrichim, they guide younger students toward a positive Jewish journey experience by demonstrating their involvement, their skills at collaboration, and their initiative.
