Voices: The Chicago Jewish Teen Foundation
Voices: The Chicago Jewish Teen Foundation is a selective, year-long program for Jewish high school students from across the Chicagoland area. Voices board members spend the year learning about philanthropy and grant-making through a Jewish lens. Members of the Voices Jewish Teen Foundation Boards allocate approximately $50,000 to organizations to affect real change on the issues they care about most.
