Position at NCSY

Who We Are:

NCSY Canada is dedicated to inspiring Jewish teens to connect deeply with their identity, their people, and their Torah. Through dynamic programming—Shabbatons, clubs, trips, learning initiatives, and one‑on‑one relationships we create life‑changing experiences for thousands of teens across the country.

Torah High provides accredited Jewish studies education to public school students, offering them the opportunity to earn credits while engaging meaningfully with Torah learning in a relevant, real‑world way.

The Orthodox Union (OU) is one of the largest Orthodox Jewish organizations in the United States. Founded in 1898, the OU supports a network of synagogues, youth programs, Jewish and Religious Zionist advocacy programs, programs for the disabled, localized religious study programs, and international units. The OU maintains a kosher certification service, whose circled U symbol is found on the labels of many kosher commercial and consumer food products.
