The Milwaukee Jewish Teen Philanthropy Board
is a community-wide program that engages Jewish
teens in a communal giving and learning effort
to achieve our goal of tikkun olam, “repairing the
world.” A diverse group of Jewish students in high
school from the greater Milwaukee area attend
monthly sessions centered around grant making,
non-profit functions and the philanthropic model.
In empowering teens to use philanthropy as a means
to make social change, the sessions cover a variety
of topics ranging from understanding community
need, developing grant strategies, evaluating grant
proposals, performing site visits and practicing strategic
decision-making and consensus-building techniques.

Student to Student is a program of Milwaukee Jewish
Federation's Coalition for Jewish Learning, Jewish
Community Relations Council, and the Nathan
and Esther Pelz Holocaust Education Resource
Center. Student to Student engages Jewish juniors
and seniors by empowering them to share their
Jewish and teen identities with their non-Jewish
peers, many of whom have never interacted
with someone from the Jewish community.
Teen leaders are trained to counter antisemitism
and demystify Judaism by giving engaging,
interactive presentations to students in area high
schools that have little to no Jewish presence.
