The Jewish Federation of Omaha’s Tzedek Teens program empowers Jewish youth with tools to donate money, time, and energy to causes that are important to them.
Through planning and carrying out Tzedek projects, teens can earn service-learning hours needed for high school graduation requirements.
There are multiple ways to be involved! Depending on each teen’s preferences, time commitments, and interests, there is a way to give Tzedakah.
How it works:
There are many ways to get involved and donate to important causes. Financial support is available to open accounts, please contact Naomi for more information.
There will be two to three Tzedek projects throughout the year. Energetic and motivated teens can join the planning committee or simply show up and get put to work for a meaningful experience.
Information will be shared in e-mail and on our webpage about upcoming projects.
