Moving Traditions is a national nonprofit organization focused on youth programming at the intersection of gender, wellbeing, and Judaism. Through collaborations with synagogues, JCCs, camps, day schools, and emerging groups, it develops and supports educator- and clergy-delivered programs that engage Jewish preteens and teens and involve families, based on more than a decade and a half of program evaluation. The organization aims to strengthen Jewish educators, empower young people, and foster family engagement by applying a gender-aware approach to adolescent development within Jewish life. Founded in January 2005 and based in the Philadelphia area, Moving Traditions serves a broad network across North America and emphasizes training for educators and clergy to address the needs of Jewish youth. Its work aligns with the broader landscape of religious education and youth development, positioning it as a specialized provider within the Jewish educational sector that pursues impact-focused programming for teens and their families. The organization has a history of partnerships and program expansion, including collaborations with Jewish camps and family education models connected to B’nai Mitzvah, as part of its ongoing efforts to improve youth wellbeing and inclusive communities.
