MISSION The
mission of the EMILY Silverstein Fund is to continue Emily Rachel Silverstein’s
legacy of hope in action for a more peaceful, just and sustainable world, through
education, mentorship and creating and disseminating educational resources to
facilitate individuals and student-centered organizations to experience local
and global social change through community building activities. SCHOLARSHIPS
The EMILY Fund will provide scholarships to students who have been actively
engaged in volunteer activities and community-building, and who intend to pursue
careers that will be focused on building a more peaceful, just and sustainable
world. We will begin this year with annual scholarships to Emily’s schools: $1000
scholarship to a Hightstown High School senior, $200 savings bond to a Kreps
Middle School eighth-grader, and $100 savings bond to a Roosevelt Public School
sixth-grader. We intend to expand to a national scholarship in the future. EMILY
CLUBS
The EMILY Fund intends to launch, encourage and support a grassroots
network of clubs in schools and on college campuses to engage in volunteer, educational
and service activities around social issues and community needs, including helping
to STOP Dating Violence. MENTORSHIP
We are developing a mentorship program to empower young people to take on
a leadership role in working for social change.
EDUCATION
The EMILY Fund will help create and disseminate educational materials
through print publishing, electronic publishing, music and video, addressing peace,
justice, environmental sustainability and other social issues, such as helping
to raise awareness about and STOP Dating Violence.
