Informal Jewish experiences — including Jewish camp — rank among the highest in connecting children, teens and young adults to their Jewish identity. To ensure that all young members of our community have access to these important experiences, the Rabbi Gershon Hadas Guardian Society provides financial assistance to families who wish to provide a Jewish summer enrichment experience for their children.

The Rabbi Gershon Hadas Guardian Society for Jewish Children also provides financial assistance to individuals who wish to participate in long term (three months or longer) Israel programs after high school or college.

The Jewish Youth Group Convention Assistance Fund is a community fund available to the Jewish teens of Greater Kansas City. Grants will be made from the fund to enable young people to participate in Jewish youth conventions throughout the school year.
