JEM: Connection Point Announces Affiliate Schools
Connection Point, a JEM initiative in collaboration with Tzivos Hashem, encourages children to watch and listen to the Rebbe, and provides the tools necessary for them to understand him directly. Last year, Connection Point was tremendously successful, with over 2500 students enrolled.
For the coming year, Connection Point is building on the successes of last year and introducing two new pilot programs – one for high school girls, and one for young children. As well, many exciting initiatives have been introduced, including the Affiliate Program.
Connection Point was started with a vision that over four years, from fifth through eighth grade, students will experience 24 full rallies of the Rebbe. That way, students will gain an appreciation, understanding, and love for watching videos of the Rebbe. On the day they graduate, they will have the tools necessary to understand a talk of the Rebbe on their own.
Connection Point Affiliates are schools that share this vision.
Affiliate Schools commit to taking part in all four yearly rallies, and are eligible to join the CP finale event, receive special deals on beautiful photos of the Rebbe for their classrooms, hallways, lobbies etc., and are eligible for the Tzivos Hashem Connection Point medallion.
Over the past month, schools applied to become Affiliates, and Connection Point is proud to announce those accepted:
