JTI's signature program trains and empowers teens in grades 10 through 12 to become communal connectors. Fellows develop meaningful relationships with their peers and connect others to the vast menu of opportunities available to Jewish teens in their community and beyond.
How do we foster a strong Jewish future?
The Jewish Teen Initiative (JTI) at Combined Jewish Philanthropies (CJP) connects, empowers, inspires and mobilizes teens and the professionals who support them throughout Greater Boston. From grants to leadership opportunities, we're here to support the work of our partners, help teens navigate their Jewish journeys, and inspire them to be the change they wish to see.
Let's connect!
