Temple Akiba Senior Temple Youth (TASTY) Group
Temple Akiba’s Youth Program, also known as TASTY, is open to Akiba members in 4th through 12th grade. Temple Akiba youth groups enable our students to work together, build character and confidence, and develop their individual potential in an exciting format. Youth programs offer age-appropriate opportunities such as trips, sports, social action, games, art, drama, music and free discussion. Our youth have participated in bowling, rock-climbing, go-karting, ice-skating, hiking, color-me-mine, virtual reality, escape rooms, mini-golfing, beach days, movie nights and so much more!
TASTY is divided into groups by grade and monthly events are geared towards each group’s needs.
TASTY Bites: 4-5th grade members
TASTY Treats: 6-8th grade members
Senior TASTY: 9-12th grade members
Leadership opportunities are open to our high school students in Senior TASTY. We have an elected teen youth board every year who help plan events for Senior TASTY as well as help staff events for younger TASTY groups.
