2011-2012 Marin/San Francisco Jewish Teen Foundation Board
Mission Statement 2011-2012
The MSFJTF will fund organizations that promote self-sufficiency for at-risk youth in the Bay Area and Israel by providing them with tools to improve their lives.
Who we are
The Marin/San Francisco Jewish Teen Foundation is a vibrant board made up of high school students from Marin and San Francisco. Students on the board gain valuable leadership skills and experience, bond with socially conscious Jewish peers, and make a difference through realization of Jewish values. Our board members will:
- Boost their leadership skills
- Connect with Jewish youth
- Expand their Jewish identity
- Debate tough choices
- Engage in social justice issues
- Attend a fun, inspirational and well-planned weekend retreat November 18 to 20, 2011
- Participate in skill-building seminars and youth-led Foundation board meetings on seven Sunday afternoon meetings from December 2011 to May 2012
- Contribute to a pooled fund being matched by donors
- Become effective grantmakers and strategic youth philanthropist
Important 2011-2012 Teen Foundation dates

Participation in the Jewish Teen Foundations requires a one-year commitment. The board members dedicate themselves to a weekend retreat and attend seven Sunday teen board meetings held 3:30 pm – 7:30 pm. Our service project will be held 10:30 - 2:30. These meetings are teen-led, part skill-building and part furthering the work of the Foundation.
What does it cost?
Each Jewish Teen Foundation board member is subsidized by over $4,500 from various funders and the Jewish Community Endowment Fund. While the Foundation program is free to board members and their families, we do ask each board member to cover the $380 cost of the three day Bay Area Youth Philanthropy Retreat at the Embassy Suites Hotel. Scholarships are available to assist families in covering this cost.
