Rose Community Foundation is looking for a diverse group of Jewish youth, grades 9 through 12, who will make a real difference in the Denver metro Jewish community by becoming grantmakers.

We are looking for teens from Golden to Aurora to Arvada - anywhere in the metro area. We are looking for a diverse group of Jewish youth who are not involved at all Jewishly, and those who are; those who are honor students and those who are not; those who are involved in community service and those who are not; we are looking for yeshiva bochurim, athletes, computer techies and skateboarders. In other words, the only requirement is that you be Jewish and want to make a difference.

We believe that a diversity of opinion and background makes for strong decisions, and you will be making a lot of decisions if you join Rose Youth Foundation. This is a student-directed program, and together with other Jewish teens, you will have the power and the responsibility of distributing $50,000 to organizations and causes within the Jewish community that you find important.

It sounds interesting. Why should I get involved?
If I get involved, what is the commitment?
Were any teens involved in setting up Rose Youth Foundation?
I'd like to know more about foundations and how they work.

"Being involved has made me feel like I'm part of something huge."
