During its regular monthly meeting held at the Jewish Community Center, members of SevenDays’ Kindness Youth Leadership Team recently learned about antisemitism and how to counter it in their own circles.
The presentation was made by Sarah Markowitz Schreiber, Jewish Community Relations Bureau | American Jewish Committee’s director of education and programs. Her program included interactive activities and confidential conversations about antisemitism teens face in school.
KYLT members meet monthly during the school year to work on various aspects of SevenDays, including planning events and activities. They receive mentorship from adults involved with SevenDays and work to increase participation in SevenDays activities by students at their schools.
SevenDays is a Kansas-City based nonprofit organization that promotes kindness and understanding through education and dialogue. SevenDays is marking its 10th anniversary in 2024, having been founded in 2014 after a white supremacist murdered Reat Underwood, his grandfather Dr. William Corporon and Terri LaManno.
