The Treu-Mart Youth Development Fellowship Program is a cooperative venture of the Treu-Mart Fund (a supporting organization of the Cleveland Foundation and the Jewish Community Federation of Cleveland) and the Mandel Center. The Fellowship Program is a nine-month experience for youth-serving professionals that both teaches and embodies the resiliency model of youth development - an asset-based paradigm for working with middle-school-age youth. This experience includes coaching, education, and peer support and reinforcement.
