GRANTS AVAILABEL FOR J-SERVE PROJECTS ON APRIL 22, 2007 (US APPLICANTS ONLY)

PANIM: The Institute for Jewish Leadership and Values, the Jewish Coalition for Service (JCS), and JEXNET: The Network for Experiential Jewish Education are inviting proposals from institutions for mini-grants to support their efforts to participate in the third-annual national day of service for Jewish teens on April 22, 2007. The goal of J-Serve is to highlight the importance of service in the Jewish community and to create service projects around which Jewish communities can mobilize across denominational and organizational lines. This initiative has been structured as a day of service for Jewish teens framed in a Jewish context that coincides with Youth Service America?s National & Global Youth Service Day. The co-sponsoring organizations are committed to the idea that service is an important part of a continuum that helps to engage, maintain, and strengthen teen involvement in Jewish life. Grants of up to $2,500 and $1,800 are available to organizations that bring a minimum of 125 and 70 Jewish teens, respectively.
