Teens Acting for Social Change (TASC)

Teens Acting for Social Change (TASC) is a group of teens making a difference in our world. TASCers build community, learn about social justice issues, and take action.

Teens run the group with the assistance of an adult coordinator. TASC meets on Sunday mornings during the school year at various Boston locations. 

TASC is open to Shule graduates and all interested teens in grades 8-11. Contact the coordinator with any questions: elias@circleboston.org.

Teens Acting for Social Change (TASC) is back! Through our year-long TASC program, teens ages 13-17 will build community with each other, grow as social justice organizers and activists, engage in the broader Boston social justice community, and deepen their understanding of the connections between being Jewish and acting for social change.

This year TASC will meet for 16 sessions between September-May on Sundays in conjunction with Shule. Final calendar to follow!
