CTeen Brownstone Brooklyn
Make a friend. Make the world better. Stand proud as a Jew. Everyone is family here.
Where every teen belongs
CTeen Brownstone Brooklyn is a community of Jewish teens who show up for each other. We hang out, volunteer, celebrate Shabbat and the holidays, and figure out what it means to live proudly as a Jew today.
No membership test, no prior knowledge needed. Come as you are — you'll leave with friends. Am Yisrael Chai!
What we're about
Friendship without judgment. Real conversations about identity and purpose. Trips, parties, and hands-on chesed across the city — backed by a network of 200,000 teens worldwide who have your back.
This one's for you
Two ways in, depending on your grade.
The big leagues
Weekly hangouts, leadership, the legendary international Shabbaton in NYC, and a community that gets you.

I came to one Thursday night not knowing a single person. Now these are the people I text first when something good happens.
CTeen is the one place where being Jewish isn't something I explain — it's just who we all are.
I figured a teen group would be cheesy. It's the opposite. The conversations actually go somewhere.
My favorite part is the chesed trips. We're not just talking about doing good — we're out there doing it.
The Shabbaton in the city was the best weekend of my year. Thousands of teens and it still felt like family.
