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 fundraising skills
By enabling teens to participate 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 their heritage well into the 21st century.
