WEST SPRINGFIELD - Twelve Jewish teenagers from Western Massachusetts traveled to Denver, Colo., early this month, joining more than 100 of their peers from 13 states and the District of Columbia, to attend the first-ever National Jewish Youth Funders Conference.

Subsidized in part by the Harold Grinspoon Foundation (HGF), the conference served to deepen the teens' understanding of the importance of Jewish philanthropy as a means to nurture Jewish identity and culture, and taught them a variety of new approaches to realizing their immediate and long-term goals."
