Senior Youth Group/RAFTY 
NFTY (North American Federation of Temple Youth) is a Reform Jewish community for high school students. NFTYites forge and build friendships, lifelong Reform Jewish identities, and leadership skills through community building, worship, social action, and experiential youth-led Jewish educational programming.
NFTY-SAR, the Southeast Region of NFTY, brings together Reform Jewish teens from 22 Temple Youth Groups (TYGs) in northern Florida, Alabama, Georgia, as well as South Carolina and portions of North Carolina. Our members come together at many times during the year for learning, fun, worship, community service, and fellowship to help young Jewish adults build and strengthen lifetime ties with each other and Reform Judaism.
NFTY’s heart and soul is participation of local Temple Youth Groups (TYGs).
Our TYG: RAFTY (Roswell Area Federation of Temple Youth)
RAFTY is the senior youth group at TKC. All high school students are welcome to join and attend RAFTY-sponsored events. In addition to having monthly events locally, we also participate in conventions with other teens from around the Southeast.
