Who is the JSU Presidents Conference for and what is the program like?  JSU Presidents Conference is a high level, professional conference for JSU teen leaders to gain professional and leadership skills!

The program will include small group workshops as well as interactive keynote presentations. We will focus on the teens developing skills within the JSU realm such as communication, relationship building, creativity, educational design, as well as a focus on the teens and their relationship with the greater Jewish community (Antisemitism, Israel Education, Jewish pride and identity etc.)
