For over seventy years, the North American Federation of Temple Youth (NFTY) has offered thousands of young people the opportunity to explore and live Reform Judaism.
Today, over 750 Reform congregations throughout North America sponsor Temple Youth Groups, bringing the NFTY experience to more than 10,000 high school-age young people in grades 9 thru 12. Through involvement opportunities offered by congregations, our 19 NFTY regions, and on the North American level, NFTYites strive to forge an identity in consonance with the goals and values of Reform Judaism.

The Tucson NFTY group is called Jew Crew of Temple Emanu-el Youth (JCTEY). Reform high-schoolers from all over the Tucson area are welcome to join, regardless of temple affiliation. Local events are held once or twice a month, where JCTEY participates in programs, social action work, and social activities. JCTEY also participates in NFTY-SouthWest regional events, held four times a year in Phoenix. If you have any questions, please contact the youth advisor Amanda Caldwell at [email protected].
