At NVHC, we believe strongly that our children are vital members of our community. We want them to feel that NVHC is their synagogue too – a place where they feel safe, comfortable, and valued. To help with that, we have three youth groups – NoVTY (Northern Virginia Temple Youth) for 8th-12th graders, NoVTY Jr for 6th & 7th graders, and NoVTY Jr Jr for 3rd-5th graders. Click here to learn more about NoVTY, and read below to learn more about the other two.

Want more information, have a question, or have a youth group program that you would like to make happen? Contact our Youth Engagement Coordinator.

NoVTY Jr Jr – 3rd-5th Grade

We offer approximately four events throughout the year for 3rd-5th graders. These events are mostly social and give students an opportunity to build bonds with their peers outside of the more formal classroom setting. Past events include trips to a pumpkin patch, Fall Festival, Post-KL Recess!, and more.

NoVTY Jr – 6th & 7th Grade

We offer approximately four events throughout the year for 6th & 7th graders. These events are a chance to socialize, learn, and be introduced to “teenagerly” concepts at NVHC and beyond as they approach adolescence. Past events include a trip to TopGolf, Game Show Night, ice skating, and a B’nai Mitzvah Preview Party.
