Twelve Batmi and Thirteen Barmi are unique programs that give batmitzvah girls and  barmitzvah boys and their families the opportunity to embark on a year long journey of giving and kindness. 

Since 2016, the Twelve and Thirteen b’nei mitzvah (coming of age) programs have provided some of the most meaningful volunteering experiences families can enjoy to mark their child's special year and, to actively make a difference to people in need.  Our programs are secular, non religious and independently run.
