Jewish Culture Clubs provide teens with opportunities for involvement in the Jewish community through their high school. Jewish Culture Clubs are established "for teens, by teens;" they meet during or after school hours (usually weekly or monthly) on campus and are open to all students. The structure of each Club is created by teen leaders, who assess the interests and needs of their participants. The Jewish content of Club activities focuses primarily on Jewish holidays, Jewish popular culture, Israel, Jewish history, rituals, understanding contemporary Judaism, and socializing with other Jewish teens. Each Club has at least one teacher sponsor, and is supported by the national organization, Jewish Student Union.
