About the Jewish Teen Foundation

 

The Jewish Teen Foundation provides an opportunity for Jewish high school students to learn about community needs and nonprofit organizations though a foundation lens. Teens develop professional and leadership skills as well as practical applications of Jewish values and teachings instilled at home or through formal Jewish education. Participants can expect to graduate from this program with behaviors, attitudes, skills and knowledge that will help them to become stewards of the next generation through tzedakah (charity/justice), avodah (work/service), and gemilut chassidim (acts of love and kindness).

 

The Jewish Teen Foundation blog serves as a forum for the participants of the program, the organizations that have been helped by the program, as well as directors of the progam to provide insight into what the organization does and the impact it has.
