WELCOME TO PROJECT EXTREME

Project Extreme Empowers At Risk and off the derech, Jewish teens to make positive choices

Through a broad portfolio of both short and long term programs, Project Extreme programs are designed to assist troubled teens and their families to overcome their many challenges by providing them with life skills training, social support networks, and professional counseling in a positive, healthy environment that is fun, exciting, secure, and highly productive.

Project Extreme Programs:

Camp Extreme for boys & girls

Camp Extreme Boys and Camp Extreme Girls are therapeutic adventure programs for troubled teens and at risk youth. The program includes a multitude of invigorating activities such as camping, white water rafting, mountain biking and more.

PROJECT EXTREME RETREATS & Shabbatons

Project Extreme’s Weekend Retreats offer at risk teens recreational resources such as skiing and snowboarding, along with behavioral skills for negotiating day-to-day challenges. The occasion is also used as an opportunity for reviewing the progress made by participating teens and provide them with sustained guidance.

MIRYAM'S HOUSE

Miryam’s House, now in its 8th year, is a loving alternative home for young women 18 years and older. Miryam’s House offers a safe and growth oriented home for young adults seeking additional encouragement, life skills support, and healthy communication skills.

Project HOPE

All Ages

By pairing teenagers with experienced young adult mentors, Project Extreme ensures that the progress made by at risk youth during our other programs will not fade or diminish. Mentors sign a social contract stating that they are responsible for maintaining contact with participants and continuing to lead them along the path to success.

"Project Extreme is about new life and fresh hope for Jewish young people with significant challenges. Its inspiring results and compassionate purposes command profound respect."

"Never in my life did I ever want to go back to where I slept the night before; whether it was my parents’ house, boarding house, Dunkin Doughnuts, or the park bench. Coming home to Miryam’s House has been wonderful. I've never before been to a place where I feel completely safe. I finally know what home feels like!"

"Project Extreme has undertaken this worthwhile endeavor helping these children rediscover themselves. Through the right environment, discussions, thrilling, and fun experiences, these children are able to turn the corner and start over."
