The B'nai Tzedek Teen Philanthropy Program is opening up new possibilities for how young people can help create a more just society. As an innovative and powerful branch of Tzedakah, B'nai Tzedek is redefining what it means to be a philanthropist - that one does not have to be wealthy to have a personal and engaged relationship to life-long giving.

The Four Objectives of B'nai Tzedek

• To help every Jewish teen in your community establish an endowment fund in their name.
   
• To provide Jewish teens with skills and knowledge in the area of Jewish sources on giving, financial literacy and modern philanthropy.
   
• To help Jewish teens establish relationships with Jewish organizations in your community and abroad.
   
• To offer the opportunity to network with other Jewish teens locally and nationally.

The B'nai Tzedek Teen Philanthropy program is based on three key components: teens having their own individual endowment fund, teens participating in educational programs and the development of a youth foundation to raise funds and participate in grant making.
