Center for Youth Philanthropy and Leadership

The Center for Youth Philanthropy and Leadership provides a comprehensive framework of opportunities to make learning about and practicing philanthropy an integral part of Jewish family life.

At the Center for Youth Philanthropy and Leadership, we work with you to build personalized, meaningful philanthropic experiences. We have programs for teens of all ages.

The Center for Youth Philanthropy and Leadership provides opportunities for young people to get involved and give back at every stage of their lives:

• If you are going to become a bar or bat mitzvah within the next year or two, learn more about Mitzvah Projects and Give a Mitzvah – Do a Mitzvah.
• If you have recently become a bar or bat mitzvah and would like to stay involved in the community, learn more about Spark.
• If you are in high school, check out our Teen Philanthropic Leadership Council to learn more about our teen foundation board.

The Center for Youth Philanthropy and Leadership will also be organizing additional teen programming, such as a viewing and discussing a film centered on a nationwide grassroots Israel education campaign.

The staff at the Center for Youth Philanthropy and Leadership is happy to work with teens personally to fulfill philanthropic goals.
