Perth Amboy, NJ – The Jewish Renaissance Foundation receives a $30,000 grant in support of its School-Based Youth Services Program
The youth entrepreneurship initiative seeks to bring alive
the concepts learned in school around math and social science. Students in the program will be able to
delight themselves in seeing and making connections among the different facts,
findings or concepts and work out how those interconnect with what they have
learned in math and other courses.
“We are really excited and grateful to the Office of Faith
Based Initiatives in providing the initial seed funding for us to pursue this
project, “said Jusleine Daniel, director of clinical services for the JRF.
The initiative will establish a support system coupled with
entrepreneurial education at the high-school level, creating the opportunity
for students with creative minds to interact in the field of
entrepreneurship. This will allow
students to gain valuable insights on product development and design thinking, along with learning to
develop a growth mindset to see their ideas prosper.
Additionally, the Civic Engagement Fellowship will continue
to build on the JRF initiatives targeted to eradicate poverty. Students’ fellows will receive training
to become active agents of change.
The fellowship will allow for the high school students to
earn a scholarship through civic and community engagement activities. It is an opportunity for them to begin
to expose themselves to the realities of poverty in their community and beyond.
Students will explore solutions and seek collaborations to combat poverty,
empathize and connect with community members through voice, action and presence
to maximize positive social change
For more information about our
program and initiatives please contact Jusleine Daniel at (732) 324-2114 x 139 or by email
