Jewish Teen Board
UJA’s Jewish Teen Board (JTB) is a unique philanthropic leadership development program for Jewish teens entering grades 9-11. Participants will learn about fundraising, community involvement, and collective grant-making—all rooted in Jewish values, identity, and community. The program is run through UJA’s Julia & Henry Koschitzky Centre for Jewish Education.
