JT RICHMAN

SCOPE Youth Project

After four summers of creating incredible memories and close friendships at Camp Weequahic, JT decided that it was time to take action to make the camp experience accessible to as many kids as possible.

JT came up with the idea for a "Can" Teen Mitzvah project supporting SCOPE, collecting cans and bottles to turn in for money and supplementing these funds through other community events such as soccer tournaments and car washes.

As he writes on his website, "I can't think of a better Mitzvah than to give camp to someone who otherwise would not have the opportunity." We're so grateful for JT's creativity and support!
