The pilot Youth Ambassador Council launched in November of 2016.  Comprised of teens from various Jewish teen philanthropy programs from around the country, the council met four times throughout the year in a virtual conversation space to discuss issues that impact them as teens, as philanthropists and as Jews.  In our sessions we spent time discussing trends in teen giving, political giving, current events, personal priorities and giving priorities.  The Youth Ambassador Council afforded participants the opportunity to broaden their perspectives, learn about the scope of the field, and share their experience with their peers and with JTFN.
