The language was clear and digestible for my teen, and I was grateful to be able to share in the learning experience with her so we could continue the conversation into the future.

Our Unique Curriculum
TribeTalk’s “Standing Strong” curriculum educates and empowers Jewish students, their allies, and their parents in middle, high school, and in college to better understand how to navigate the challenges they may face.
TribeTalk’s trainers create a space for students to feel safe and empowered to ask questions during the workshops. Students leave our program understanding they are not alone, they have allies and resources at their disposal, and have the tools to address antisemitism and hate should they need them.
TribeTalk customizes each workshop to meet the specific needs and education level of each audience, to provide various degrees of depth and understanding on multiple relevant topics. Our programs also highlight Jewish joy and encourage students to engage in Jewish life in college and beyond.
Based on feedback from community leaders, TribeTalk has also created versions of its program to engage specific audiences:
- “Standing Together,” designed to educate non-Jewish allies alongside Jewish students, and empower them to work together to fight hate.
- “Standing Up,” an advanced curriculum focused on empowering young Jewish leaders to address antisemitism in their community, designed for graduates of the original ‘Standing Strong” program.
- “Standing With Your Students,” a program focused on helping parents, educators, and community leaders understand antisemitism and how they can support Jewish students navigating hate in our communities.
Our programs are being sought out across the country by schools, camps, and Jewish organizations to help their communities educate their students and families around how to identify and respond when they see antisemitism.
