The Ma’yan Research Training Internship (RTI) was created to generate
new knowledge about the lives of Jewish teen girls, and to promote
girls’ leadership within and beyond the Jewish community.  Interns work
with Ma’yan staff over the course of a year to study an issue relevant
to Jewish teen girls. Our first cohort (2007) studied the attitudes and
experiences of Jewish teen girls and our second cohort studied bat
mitzvah (2008-2009).  In October 2010, we will convene our third cohort
to examine the question, “Who is served by our community service?”
