Transformative programs for transformative leaders

Our Programs

Tomorrow’s Jewish future starts with today’s educators. Transform with us.

At Legacy Heritage Fund, we believe that a strong, vibrant Jewish future starts with enhancing Jewish education. That’s why we’re committed to growing the next generations of professional and volunteer leaders in Jewish educational spaces. Are you ready to transform with us?

Program Overview

Better to Serve

Sustained service experiences for sustained impact.

Currently, the majority of teen programs offer volunteer opportunities just four times a year or less–and usually just for a couple of hours. Better to Serve aims to change that. Our two-year service-learning program for 10th-12th graders empowers teens to truly become change-makers in their communities, making a real and sustained impact on the issues that matter to them.
