Teen Changemakers
Four Years
Teen Changemakers has been empowering teens to make a difference for the past four years by combining education and a hands-on approach to fundraising. The teens are able to lead by consensus to make a philanthropic change in our community and beyond. The amount of students each year has increased from 20, 30, 35, and to a total of 39 students this year.
Founding and Funding
The entire program is founded and funded by Hirsch and UJA-JCC Greenwich. All the money raised is for allocating.
