• Run 2 evening programs (already created) connected to the program theme;

• Provide administrative support to B2L Directors, Instructors and Guest Speakers as requested (ie: get supplies and materials, make copies, set up and break down program spaces);

• Act as a positive Jewish role model for B2L participants.
