JNF has developed an innovative program that will help young people sell the JNF tree certificate and raise money for the Israel experience of their choice at the same time. Youth through age 25 sell tree certificates at $36 each. Half of the proceeds are used for planting trees in Israel (a special tree certificate is sent to a designee on behalf of the donor); the other half is placed in a special bank account on behalf of the program participant. When a minimum of 10 sales have been made, and $180 is accrued, the money can be used toward a trip to Israel.
