DETAILS

CLTC is where emerging AZA and BBG leaders take the next step in their journey. Designed for 9th and 10th grade members, it’s a place to explore your potential, practice leadership in real ways, and grow into the leader your chapter, community, and future self needs. From the moment you arrive, CLTC welcomes you into a space where individuality is celebrated, everyone is supported, and each teen can discover their “why.” Here, you’ll learn by doing, connect deeply, and find your people. With teens from across the Movement, your leadership journey comes alive through hands-on programming, Jewish learning, and classic summer experiences—sports, music, lake adventures, and more. With four sessions at the Commonpoint Retreat Center, CLTC gives you the flexibility to shape your summer—and your leadership journey.
