Team Tzadek

Calling all b'nai mitzvah youth: here’s your chance to learn the meaning and role of tzedakah and giving back to the community!

Team Tzadek is a community service volunteer program for b’nai mitzvah preteens and teens (6th, 7th, and 8th graders) and their families. This popular program complements religious and day-school curricula, and is designed for youth from diverse congregations.

Working as a team, students participate in hands-on mitzvah projects while learning about our community’s needs. Team Tzadek launches a new schedule of fun and worthwhile activities each fall. Projects include Hanukkah holiday visits to seniors, preparing meals for people with chronic illnesses and disabilities, helping to renovate a low-income client’s home, and many other hands-on service opportunities.

The 2010 - 2011 Team Tzadek program begins in October 2010. Applications are now available, and space is limited. To apply, please contact Masha Perelman Tikhman, YouthFirst Program Coordinator, at MashaP@jfcs.org ; 415-359-2477.
