For Older Teens
JPI offers Teen Club and discussion groups. Every spring teens participate in the Congress of Secular Jewish Organization's (CSJO) Annual Convention.

Adult Programming
While our children are in their clubs, we join other JPI parents for coffee and conversation, speakers, and other events.
