They need Your help now!

Tzila Dagan, our Silicon Valley Director at Fremont, Homestead, Paly, and Gunn, has been working with schools staff, advisors, and students to run their Jewish Student Union clubs, crucial Jewish programming, lead urgent pro-Israel events, and strengthen the teen community.

This campaign will

  • Ensure continued support for our local teens.
  • Enable more kids to travel to Israel this summer.
  • Lay the groundwork for opening more clubs at more schools.
  • Create unapologetic, proud pro-Israel space in schools.
  • And most importantly, show teens - we have their backs!
