Why Dreaming Bigger?

Teens are the Jewish people’s greatest asset.

Teen leadership and development is more important today than ever. Dreaming Bigger provides a more consistent, intentional, relevant, and aspirational way to grow and empower teens and those who prepare them to be the leaders of tomorrow.

Our Mission and Vision

The Dreaming Bigger initiative is designed to inspire and empower teens to…

  • Broaden their Jewish knowledge
  • Identify and deepen their values
  • Hone their leadership skills

so that they can make a meaningful difference in the world.

Our Mission

Based on years of research and experience and serving all teens or those that work with them, Dreaming Bigger offers a suite of first-class resources such as a website, book, educators guide, masterclasses, animations, and conversation cards and provides a safe space for teens and those that work with them to engage and interact.

Our Vision

To inspire and empower teens to hone their knowledge, values and skills: to learn, among other things, how to recruit, motivate, persuade, raise money, nurture talent, have difficult conversations and guide those they are leading more effectively.
