TEEN SCREEN 2013

Tuesday, February 12th 6:00 PM- THANKS FOR ATTENDING. WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!! 
Join the JCC Teen Department as we head to Clairmont Reading Theatre for a FREE film screening. Dinner is also free for teens!

Stories from an Undeclared War is the powerful story of 150 at-risk students from Long Beach, CA who were once considered unteachable. But inspired by their teacher, Erin Gruwell, and the writings of Anne Frank, the students discover a new way to express themselves. The once-hardened teens have an epiphany that they live in an undeclared war, and becoming FREEDOM WRITERS becomes their salvation. *Special Guest Erin Gruwell will be joining us to speak to teens after the movie* 

This year’s teen screen film was selected by a teen focus group who will examine several films throughout the year and determine which film to show. If you would like to participate in the focus group, please contact Karen Flexer Friedenberg karenf@lfjcc or 858.362.1331.

Teen and Parent Seminar Series

The JCC Teen Department invites Teen and Parents to come learn and discuss important teen issues. Tees who participate in three out of the four seminars receive a "Certificate in Community Service Leadership" along with 20 hours in community service. Those returning participants from last year will receive a Platinum Service Leadership Award after the completion of tree seminars in addition to 20 community service hours.

Session III: HOW TO BE AN EFFECTIVE CITIZEN

In this very special seminar, Dr. Samuel Popkin, professor of Political Science from UCSD will speak to teens and parents regarding how teens can be politically engaged before they are able to vote. As a dynamic lecturer and author of books such as; The Reasoning Voter and The Candidate, Dr. Popkin will encourage teenage political action and empowerment. What a perfect chance to discuss politics after our recent election!

Session IV: CONTINUING THE CONVERSATION ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND HOW TO COMMUNICATE IN THE AGE OF FACEBOOK AND TWITTER

This session is a continuation from last year's seminar on social media and will explore in greater detail how to create a safe online profile. Led by specialists from the Anti-Defamation League, participants will become leaders in preventing cyberbullying and other risky online behaviors.
