Inspired Teens Help Reinvigorate Jewish Life in Eastern Europe

Your donations to Federation’s Annual Campaign help support the Active Jewish Teens Network (AJT), an inclusive peer group across eastern Europe that enables teens to explore and engage in their Jewish community and form their Jewish identities. Federation’s overseas partner, the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, collaborates with BBYO, the largest, pluralistic, Jewish teen movement — and a Federation partner — to connect more than 3,000 teens in 57 cities through AJT. Using workshops, volunteer and social opportunities, AJT teens help rebuild Jewish traditions and values in their community. To support programs like these and others, donate here.
