Federation Teen Intiative

Federation is launching a new Teen Philanthropy Initiative in an effort to bring together teens from throughout the local Jewish community. The Initiative is intended to strengthen teen identification with their Jewish heritage. It also will, hopefully, help teens use Jewish values to respond to community needs. I’ve attached four documents: 1) a letter introducing the Initiative; 2) a flyer; 3) an application form; and 4) an addendum to the application that requests insurance and emergency contact info, etc. Please share this information with teens that you think might be interested in the program. The deadline for applying to participate is September 8.  Download the form .
