Overview

Mission

To foster a community of belonging that inspires all to embrace their connection to Jewish life, traditions, and values in our unique Mountain town. I have a MA in Expressive Arts Therapy, a MA in Counseling Psychology and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. My Expressive Arts background helps me to bring a creative approach to teaching the students about their Jewish heritage, culture, holidays, and Torah stories. I studied Hebrew in college and led a six week tour to Israel for American and newly immigrated Russian teens after I graduated college. I also spent four months training with the Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company on Kibbutz Ga'aton in Israel. In addition to teaching religious school, I am the director of Music Together Steamboat which provides music education for children 0-5 and their caregivers. I love teaching.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 78% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence.
