At the Center for Youth Philanthropy and Leadership (CYPL), we’re teens interested in making the world a better place. We know it’s never too early to make a difference. From becoming bar and bat mitzvah through high school and college, we learn, mentor, grow, and lead through volunteering, foundation board service, and work that challenges and changes how we see the world.

• Give a Mitzvah – Do a Mitzvah
  We’re becoming b’nai or b’not mitzvah and want to celebrate by volunteering and fundraising for causes that are important to us.
  
  
• PACT: Philanthropic Advisory Council for Teens
  We’re in ninth through twelfth grades and want to experience philanthropy through a Jewish lens. We want to engage in the fundraising and grantmaking process, getting funds where they need to go — in real time. We want to deep dive into conversations about Israel as we prepare for post-high school life.
  
  
• Alumni Connect
  We’re CYPL alums who’ve graduated from high school and want to stay connected and continue giving back.
