Areyvut is pleased to once again offer H.O.P.E. (Helping Organizations Provide Essentials), a Jewish Teen Philanthropy program to 7th graders at Yeshivat Noam in Paramus, NJ.
Participants contribute $100 and work as a board to determine community needs, develop a mission and ultimately allocate those funds. They will impact each other, the community and learn and develop skills that encourage them to give thoughtfully throughout their lives.
Since 2007, Areyvut’s Jewish Teen Philanthropy programs have engaged almost 200 participants, allocated $46,600 to over 25 non-profits.
We are thrilled to once again partner with Yeshivat Noam on this exciting program and are confident it will be a meaningful and exciting program for all those involved.
Session #2: Area of Focus & Mission Statement
Program participants will be presented with a vast array of potential areas of focus ranging from education to hunger and poverty to the environment. Students will work collaboratively to determine the area they would like to focus on and develop a mission statement. This mission statement will then be utilized by the students in determining the type of organization(s) they will potentially support financially.
To explore bringing philanthropy and/or other Areyvut programs to your school, synagogue or community please contact Daniel Rothner at daniel@areyvut.org or (201) 244-6702.
