Suppose someone gave you $20,000 and said,
“Take this money and use it to make our
Jewish community a better place.”
What would you do?
You could be one of 20 Jewish teens with the power to decide.
The Door and Ladder Society is a youth-run philanthropy program for Jewish 10th graders who want to change the world!
ALONG THE WAY, YOU’LL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO:
- Get to know teens from different Jewish backgrounds
- Figure out how Jewish concepts such as tzedakah, justice, and community apply in today’s world
- Learn how philanthropy and non-profits make a difference in the world
- Talk about the role of money and power in our culture
- Meet changemakers, teachers, and community leaders
Over the course of ten weeknight sessions and one two-day intensive workshop you will collaborate with peers to explore the meaning of philanthropy and your responsibility to our community. You will serve as a grantmaking board to distribute $20,000 to local Jewish projects of your choice.
OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU:
- Letters of recommendation for college applications and job opportunities
- A unique opportunity to meet community leaders and local philanthropists
- Access to a network of peers from all over the country
ABOUT OUR NAME:
The Door and Ladder Society is named for two powerful Jewish concepts. Dor l'dor in Hebrew means generation to generation. The ladder is a famous Jewish metaphor for increasingly meaningful giving aimed at repairing the world.
The Door and Ladder Society is a program of TRIBE Three-Sixty in partnership with the Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta and the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta, supported by the Jewish Teen Funders Network.
