The Jewish Community Foundation offered one of the first philanthropy camps in the nation in the summer of 2007 – a one-week day camp for high school students. Tikkun Olam Camp provided students with opportunities to learn about Jewish values related to giving, to participate in site visits to local non-profits, and to allocate funds to community programs and organizations. Tikkun Olam Camp was established to encourage students ages 14-18 to become philanthropists by empowering them with skills to donate effectively. In the ten years since the Foundation launched the Community Youth Foundation (CYF), more than 223 students from various denominations and affiliations in San Diego have gained firsthand experience in community service.
