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.

to ensure that Jewish youth in the East Bay community carry
forth the philanthropic spirit of our heritage well into the
21st century.
