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.
