To support training for Educational Resource Providers (ERPs) to develop and implement developmentally appropriate, intergenerational programming for families with children ages 0-5.
From the Jewish Education Project:
J-LINC is an initiative to create inter-generational and developmentally appropriate Jewish education programming for families with children ages five years and younger by partnering with educational organizations and community synagogues and Jewish Community Centers. The synagogues and JCC’s participating in J-LINC will be exposed to new models of family engagement, and most importantly, families will have rich opportunities for deepening their connection to Judaism and to Jewish friends.
