Yesterday was a beautiful and busy day at 4Front!

Yesterday was a beautiful and busy day at 4Front! Our final Teen Service Council Pop-up met at Great Kids Farm and got the chance to get our hands dirty and make an impact in our community! We had a great time mulching blueberry bushes, transplanting blackberry bushes, and weeding and mulching around the farm! In the afternoon, our Diller Teen Fellows met for the first time in person since November for some fun and reconnecting! We are thankful for science and the beautiful weather that allowed us to gather in-person (socially-distant of course!) @greatkidsfarm

Meet David (@dlunken) and Jessica (@5jessplunk5 )

Meet David (@dlunken) and Jessica (@5jessplunk5 ) Lunken. Jessica is a experience development professional and David is a management consultant. They are parents to three incredible teens (two of them 4Front alumni) by night...and well also by day. David is a three time Social Innovation Fellowship Mentor and Co-chair of the 4Front Advisory Committee.
David and Jessica and their family have been involved since 2017 when Isabel participated in our first cohort of Social Innovation Fellowship. The three Lunken girls, Isabel, Talia and Nadya (participants of SIF, STAC & Fun[d]) were attracted to 4Front as they saw it as an opportunity to interact with other Jewish teens while simultaneously engaging in amazing programming topics. 4Front offered a way to learn in a very hands on, participatory way with a great cross-section of teens. Once the Lunken girls got involved, they built an amazing connection to the staff and 4Front leadership that lasts until today. They “graduated” from 4Front with an understanding of the strong link Jewish values have to social issues, a deep connection to Israel and confidence to participate and speak up about topics they are passionate about.
Their involvement with the Jewish community reaches back to David’s own adolescence. Raised in a very small Jewish community - David shared, “it was central to everything we did growing up. Attending a Jewish summer camp and having a cohort of friends for over 40 years. It is our community, our core, our people.”
We are so grateful to have incredible lay leaders like David on the 4Front working hard to advocate for and elevate teens in our community!

Over the course of 10 days this past month, the Diller Teen Fellows completed a virtual Jewish Community Mifgash (JCM). Through a giving circle, cooking lesson, and a workshop teaching skills about having difficult conversations (and much more) the Fellows explored key Diller values like tikkun olam, Jewish identity, and peoplehood – and how some amazing Baltimore organizations, businesses, and people are also connected to these values.
