Jewish Youth Network has recently decided to begin charging a nominal $100. yearly administrative fee to help offset some of the costs associated with the program. This donation helps contribute to the overall TFC budget which currently exceeds $18,000. Additional funding is solicited through individual donors and grants. TFC maintains an open door policy and will not turn away any teen due to financial constraints.
TFC Funded in part by The Ontario Trillium Foundation
