Springboard is excited to present this year's 18 Under 18 Honorees! We were so impressed with the quality and quantity of the nominees. We are thankful to the community members and teens who took part in the nomination and review process. Springboard was created to help more teens find their fit in the Jewish community. We are fortunate to have such passionate teens and professionals working together to create a stronger Chicagoland Jewish community. Join us at 18 Under 18: A Celebration of Jewish Teens on April 16, 2018 to celebrate our 18 Honorees,dedicated youth professionals,  as well as the rest of the outstanding teens in our community.
