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 high school juniors
and seniors by empowering them to share their Jewish
identities with 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. This program strengthens the teens’ Jewish
identities and helps grow their leadership skills.
