Video: Diller Teen Tikkun Olam Awardees

Each year, five incredible teens who have dedicated themselves to repairing the world are selected to be Diller Teen Tikkun Olam awardees. Each recipient is given $36,000 each to use towards their college education or to further the efforts of their projects. At the Federation, we're in the midst of preparing the official announcements of both our 2008 Diller Teen Tikkun Olam awardees and putting out the call for nominees for the 2009 cycle, but before we go there, we would like to introduce you to last year's winners. They are an inspiring group that amongst their many projects, enabled an entire junior class to visit the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles, raised awareness about genocide in Darfur, and led a group of their peers to build homes for the homeless in Mexico.
