TAP Talks
I’m not always saving the world, and that’s okay
To any activist that might need to hear this: if you have stopped advocating for a while or have been too busy helping yourself or your family to volunteer, and you’re worried about being criticized for that if you come back, don’t be.
Our Teen Ambassadors
“TAP is an incredible, extremely eye-opening and rewarding program. Beyond learning about the world at large, being empowered as a voice of change and positivity has impacted my outlook on the world and given me a deeper understanding for the person I want to be. I also have TAP to thank for the invaluable relationships I’ve made with our amazing leader Amy and my fellow TAPers.”
– Eliana Makhani, Palisades Charter High School
“The Teen Ambassador Program with Jewish World Watch is by far one of the most rewarding programs I have ever participated in. TAP ensures that child soldiers and human rights violations throughout the world are not ignored. Without TAP, I would simply be oblivious to the atrocities committed globally and I will forever thank Jewish World Watch and Amy Cecil for keeping me informed and giving me the opportunity to be a part of something much bigger than myself.
– Danielle Bernstein, Palisades Charter High School
“TAP truly is a life-changing program. I’ve built everlasting relationships with my peers and Amy, and I’m honored to be a part of the TAP community. TAP opened my eyes to many issues I never even knew about, and has taught me to become a global citizen.”
– Noah Weiss, UC Santa Barbara
“TAP has been such an important program for me. TAP has given me leadership skills, taught me to be an advocate, and shown me my power to enact change. It is so important to confront the injustice in our world rather than being complacent in our privilege. TAP is an amazing way to not stand idly by, to fight genocide, and to make the world a better place.
– Sylvie Shure, Middlebury College
