The grants, of up to $6,000, will support Youth Serving Organizations (YSO) that develop programs that are Active, Relevant and Connective for teens and promote education and engagement. YSOs can click hereto apply. Applications are due September 13, 2019. The Miami ARC Teen Initiative is a result of the Post B’nai Mitzvah Task Force, funded by Federation, which examined ways to address the drop off in teen involvement in Jewish life.
