Secondary School | UJEB High Programs

UJEB has four different secondary school programs currently available. These programs range from social activities, Hebrew lessons, lunchtime sessions, social action, and a partnership with BBYO, a peer-led youth movement.

The Ambassadors Program is a leadership journey involving personal growth, empowerment, and a unique approach to Jewish identity. It is designed to empower Jewish teens to become confident leaders who can express and share their Jewish identity with non-Jewish teens. It emphasises a unique, personal journey of understanding, internalising, and loving Judaism, while fostering the ability to present these values to their peers.

Our annual camp brings together UJEB’s extended community for a long weekend of informal Jewish learning, outdoor activities, Shabbat and plenty of ruach!

UJEB’s lunchtime Jewish cultural program, J-Lunch, provides weekly in-school social activities, cultural sessions and events for secondary school students.

Having J-Lunch in schools provides time each week for Jewish students to connect with other Jewish peers in their school, while encouraging the wider school community to engage and learn more about Jewish culture.

Highlights of a J-Lunch session are trying challah, learning about Jewish festivals and dancing to Hebrew music.

All that is required for J-Lunch to operate in a school is an available classroom and a designated lunchtime each week.

BBYO is one of the leading, inclusive, pluralistic teen movements for Jewish teens looking to create a more meaningful Jewish experience. BBYO provides a social outlet outside of school, leadership opportunities, events, and camps. As BBYO Victoria is part of BBYO International, the students have the possibility of connection to a wide range of international opportunities.
