Our Mission
Educating and empowering North Carolina Jewish teens to embrace Zionism, live Jewish values, and build a proud, connected community.
NC TeenZ is a newly established Jewish Youth Zionist organization.
Formerly operating under Club Z, we are proud to now function as an independent, grassroots movement guided by our dedicated directors and advisory committee. This transition grants us the autonomy to develop Zionist education and programming tailored to the unique needs and values of our local community. We are excited to bring fresh, engaging, and meaningful content to Jewish teens across North Carolina.
We honor the legacy of the Charlotte chapter of Club Z and continue to collaborate with both Club Z and StandWithUs in our shared mission to educate and empower the next generation of Jewish leaders. NC TeenZ is excited to launch fresh, engaging, and meaningful content for Jewish teens across the state.
Who It’s For
Jewish high school students across North Carolina ready to expand their understanding of Israel explore Jewish life, and forge strong bonds with peers who share their convictions and passions.
We educate and empower Jewish teens to embrace Zionism, live Jewish values, and build a proud, connected community.
Why It Matters
Too many Jewish teens today feel isolated and afraid to speak up for Israel. They’re surrounded by misinformation, antisemitism, and a lack of strong community support.
No teen should have to choose between fitting in and being proudly Jewish.
Rooted in Jewish values and Zionist ideals, we help teens find their voice and purpose.
Why Parents Trust Us
NC TeenZ offers more than programs—it offers purpose.
Through powerful Jewish learning, leadership development, and a strong connection to Israel, your teen will gain confidence, clarity, and community.
Having deep roots (going strong since 2019) in the NC community, NC TeenZ has cultivated leaders; many of whom now lead the way at their own college campuses in the fight against Israel hate and antisemitism.
Join Us Today
Whether you’re a teen eager to connect with proud, like-minded Jewish peers—or a parent seeking a meaningful, values-driven experience for your child—NC TeenZ is where Zionism, leadership, and friendships begin.
