JCF Presents: Jewish Teen Foundation!

The Jewish Community Foundation is excited to announce the pilot year of the Jewish Teen Foundation. The Jewish Community Foundation has a proud 17-year history of working with teens to develop skills in effective philanthropy. Now, as part of an international initiative with Jewish Teen Funders Network and Laura Lauder, the Foundation is offering 25 San Diego Jewish high school teens the opportunity to participate in an academic year-long program dedicated to philanthropy. Teens will be selected through a competitive application process. This program will begin October 2014 and run through June 2015. Read more   Click here to download the program flyer.
