Jewish Grandparents Network Baltimore
Overview
Welcome to the Jewish Grandparents Network – Baltimore! We are excited to offer this one-stop-shop for grandparents.
Expect fun programs filled with Jewish values for you and your grandchild/children as well as social opportunities and educational programs specifically curated for the modern grandparent.
When grandparents have the knowledge and confidence to share their love of Judaism, Jewish family and community life will be strengthened for generations to come.
Know someone who just had a new grandchild? Want to connect and get more information about our programs, events and resources? We offer local in-person programming and online programming for in town and out-of-town grandparents.
