About Teens Building Bridges

Founder and President

About

Ben is a current High School Senior from Westchester, NY with a background in Jewish Leadership and Community Bridge-Building.

Ben was previously an intern at Civic Spirit, a NYC-based nonprofit organization, and was tasked with interviewing organizations in the bridge-building space about their best strategies.

Ben was inspired to start Teens Building Bridges after noticing the lack of a Bridge-Building space that focused exclusively on teenagers heading to college, especially now with the uptick of antisemitism on these campuses.

In his free time, Ben enjoys watching baseball, football, and basketball, as well as traveling with friends and family.
