The East Bay Jewish Community Teen Foundation (EBJCTF) is made up of a group of high school students determined to make a difference through the application of tzedakah and other Jewish values. We engage directly in the practice of philanthropy and collaborative grantmaking for the purpose of tikkun olam, repairing the world.

We participate in a weekend retreat (in conjunction with the Bay Area’s Jewish Community Teen Foundations) and seven Sunday meetings from December through June in order to:

  • Run our own foundation—learn to fundraise and make grants
  • Discuss Jewish values and their application to social justice
  • Gain leadership, teamwork and philanthropic skills

By participating in meaningful activities that offer responsibility and the opportunity to practice Tikkun Olam in a community of peers, the East Bay Jewish Community Teen Foundation helps to ensure that Jewish youth in the East Bay community carry forth the philanthropic spirit of our heritage well into the 21st century.
