Get Involved in Unique Teen Programs

YOUTH PHILANTHROPY, GIVING CIRCLES, ISRAEL ADVOCACY, SOCIAL ACTION…

Attention all Teens: your Jewish education will reach new heights with unique and exciting program opportunities. We invite you to explore options, learn about new trends in the field and find out ways to get involved. Talk to teens and parents of recent programs, gather information, and learn from professionals in the field at an informational meeting near you.

The next meeting will take place on Wednesday, July 15 at 7:30 pm in Lincolnwood. For more information, please contact Leemor at 312-444-2802 or email teens@juf.org

Registration FULL for Camp TOV 2009

Although registration for Camp TOV 2009 is at capacity – more than 90 teens will participate in our service-learning programming this summer – we are operating on a waitlist. Please contact Brett Klugman at 312-357-4928 or teens@juf.org for further information.

Camp TOV is a week long, fun, interactive service oriented program on wheels. Each day brings a new volunteer project and service-learning experience, focusing on: poverty, hunger, homelessness, environmental concerns, caring for the elderly, leadership skills and more. Seventh through tenth grade teens from throughout the city and suburbs of Chicago will be brought together for what promises to be a memorable summer learning experience!

Camp TOV 2009 Dates:

  • August 10-14
  • August 17-21

Tough Choices and Easy Choices

Tough Choices
Right now, many Jews in our community have to make tough choices:
Electricity or rent?
Rent or groceries?
Groceries or medicine?

Easy Choices
You can choose to help.
Give today to the Jewish United Fund.
$5, $10, $18…
every dollar helps.

Make the easy choice: make a difference.

YOU Can Make a Difference

What would you do with $25,000? What kind of difference would you make? VOICES and KOLOT are hands-on youth philanthropy programs that give teens the opportunity to allocate at least $25,000 to important causes and make an impact on the world today. These programs invite you to combine tzedakah and tikkun olam in an exciting new way. Visit Voices and Kolot to learn more. For more information and applications, email voices@juf.org or kolot@juf.org.
