CTeen is an international organization dedicated to educating Jewish youth about their heritage. It is the teen-focused arm of the Chabad movement, operated by Merkos L'Inyonei Chinuch and has over 100,000 members worldwide with 600 chapters in thirty seven countries. It is open to all Jewish teens regardless of affiliation and has been called “the fastest growing and most diverse Jewish youth organization in the world”.

Organizational structure

CTeen was launched by Rabbi Mendy Kotlarsky of Merkos Suite 302 in 2010 and operates all over the world in cities like Paris, Rio de Janeiro, Leeds, Munich, Buenos Aires and New York. Its director is Rabbi Shimon Rivkin and Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky serves as chairman. Individual chapters and programs are managed by local directors.

Programs

CTeen manages a number of ongoing as well as annual programs which include:

  • Suicide Alert workshop, which aims to equip teens for assisting their peers dealing with anxiety and depression during COVID-19. These workshops have been organized by CTeen chapters in Florida, New Hampshire and New Jersey, among others, in partnership with the Gelt Charitable Foundation.
  • CTeen XTREME, a summer travel camp where campers challenge themselves both physically and spiritually by partaking in extreme sports, observing a completely tech-free Shabbat, and keeping kosher on the road.
  • Heritage Quest, which aims to deepen the connection of Jewish teens to their heritage through educational trips to Poland and Israel, offering teens the chance to explore their roots at the source.
  • Kosher Food Club, a co-curricular high school club facilitated by CTeen chapters and operating in over fifty high schools throughout the United States, serves as a humanitarian initiative by promoting healthy lifestyles and feeding the homeless, as well as providing educational and hands-on experiences of traditional Jewish foods.
  • CTeen International Shabbaton is an annual inspirational weekend bringing together thousands of teens from around the world. The program includes a traditional Shabbat experience in the heart of Hasidic Crown Heights, a Torah completion ceremony in Times Square, and the CTeen Choice Awards at Brooklyn's Pier 12. The jam-packed weekend includes a Saturday night concert in Times Square with guest performances by singers like Gad Elbaz, Yakov Shwekey and American Hasidic rapper Nissim Black.
  • National Campus Office — coordinator of Chabad on Campus, a network of Jewish Student Centers on more than 230 university campuses worldwide (as of April 2016), as well as regional Chabad-Lubavitch centers at an additional 150 universities worldwide
  • In 2019, CTeen partnered with Yeshiva University in launching CTeen U, a college accredited program where teens learn about Jewish philosophy, ethics and history.
