Top Ten Moments at the 2016 Jewish Teen Philanthropy Summit

July 5, 2016 By eJP

jtfnLast week, nearly 100 Jewish professionals, partners, and stakeholders gathered at the Jewish Teen Philanthropy Summit in New York City. Organized by the Jewish Teen Funders Network (JTFN), the summit brought together the field of Jewish teen philanthropy for two days of workshops, speakers, collaborating, and learning. Attendees represented a variety of institutions from synagogues to JCCs, day schools to youth movements, federations, foundations and more; organizations that are veterans in the field, those for whom the summit was the perfect introduction to Jewish teen philanthropy, and everything in between.

The Jewish teen philanthropy programming challenges, and empowers, Jewish teens to take on the role of grantmaker, giving through a Jewish lens. We heard it over and over again, from those at the summit inside our field, and outside, “young people change the world.” This is not hyperbole, we know that thousands of teens participate in Jewish teen philanthropy programs, annually granting nearly $1,000,000 to organizations around the world. During the summit we celebrated these programs, these accomplishments, and 10 years of the Jewish Teen Funders Network.

In honor of JTFN’s 10 years, here are 10 of our favorite moments from this year’s summit:
