Philanthropy isn’t easy. It requires training, experience and a commitment to tzedakah. The Jewish Community Teen Foundations offers select groups of Bay Area Jewish teens the opportunity to explore Jewish values and ideas, develop leadership skills, and the chance to practice informed and directed philanthropy. Teens who serve on one of the five Jewish Community Teen Foundations learn how to run their own non-profit foundations and to become strategic grantmakers.

Robert Greenberg talks about his experience with the Marin Jewish Community Teen Foundation on KSRO.
