    This series of hands-on volunteer opportunities in June are picked especially for older high school students and sponsored by the Jewish United Fund/Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago. A.C.T. Now is for Jewish teens entering Grades 10-12 in the Chicago area. While A.C.T. Now is an extension of JUF's popular Camp TOV program, you do not need to be a former Camp TOV camper to participate. Spend a few hours making a difference in the lives of others while connecting with new friends and having loads of fun. Join one volunteer opportunity, or as many as you like.
