I oversee the Jewish TEEN Funders Network, which serves as a central address for Jewish youth philanthropy, facilitating information exchange among professional and lay leaders, making educational materials and curricula available via a central website, promoting models of excellence and “best practices,” providing technical assistance and consulting to help establish new programs, and organizing training and networking opportunities for leaders in the field.
What are the models of excellence in teen engagement outside of the Jewish community? What can we learn from successful programs and paradigms, and how can we apply “best practices” to our work within the Jewish community?
