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. Many NFTYites serve as NFTY leaders on the local TYG, regional, and even North American levels. Many NFTY Leaders continue on to become both lay and professional leaders of the Reform Jewish Movement.

During the programming year, NFTY-SAR (NFTY's Southern Area Region) hosts 4 conventions which are held throughout the region, consisting of 6 states. These conventions are:

• LLTI (Liz Leadership Training Institute): a conclave for board members aimed at preparing leaders for the year ahead.
• Fall Kallah: An open convention to start off the year filled with introductions to the region and opportunities for returning participants to connect with old friends.
• Winter Regional: An open convention for anyone interested in learning more about, and celebrating, their Judaism!
• Sring Kallah: Another open convention to reunite with your friends both new and old!

NFTY-SAR shares a social action project with it's sister region, NFTY-STR, called Camp Jenny. Camp Jenny is a 4-day camp held over Memorial Day weekend for inner-city Atlanta children. All the funds are raised by the teen members of NFTY-SAR & STR as well as the teens plan and execute the entire program.

To participate in NFTY programming, annual dues must be paid no later than November 1. Annual dues are a one-time payment of $25.
