Application Themes
This year Jewish Long Beach is seeking to support programs that create opportunities for engagement and build connection for school-age children, teens, and young adults.
We seek to support projects that:
— UNITE: Welcome, and then connect all ages/life stages/backgrounds around a set of shared values and
— ACTIVATE: Create engagement that inspires community members to ‘choose Jewish’ in their daily lives
— PARTICIPATE: Engage participation of a much larger portion of our community
— ACROSS THE COMMUNITY: Expand our reach, consistent with our mission, complementing the experiences that we can provide today
