Our Parent Connectors are members of our community and would love to meet you. They are experienced parents who have kids the same age as yours. They are here to listen and share stories and connect you to other families in your neighborhood or suburb and other opportunities in the Jewish community.
Email one of our Parent Connectors and take them up on their offer to meet for a play date or go out for coffee. Or email the JUF Young Families team at youngfamilies@juf.org and we’ll be happy to connect you.
