About JTFN
The
mission of the Jewish Teen Funders Network (JTFN) is to provide Jewish teens
with hands-on opportunities to engage in collective philanthropic giving with
their peers, guided by Jewish values. We
pursue our mission by working with talented professional and lay leaders to
increase the number of Jewish youth philanthropy programs around the country,
and the number of teens involved in these programs. We also aim to enhance the
Jewish educational value of these programs by providing curricular and
programmatic resources on Jewish values and philanthropy. We
are confident that the foundation provided by Jewish youth philanthropy
programs will strengthen the teens’ insight and commitment to philanthropy, and
that the alumni of these programs will engage in lifelong giving within the
framework of Jewish values.
