(JTA) — The Jewish Agency for Israel and the non-pro PR4PR will work together to bring Jewish volunteers to San Juan, Puerto Rico to work with children at risk.

The volunteers will create and staff a center for Project TEN, an international development program of the Jewish Agency that operates volunteer centers in developing areas throughout the world.

The Jewish Agency and PR4PR will identify young volunteers from all sectors of Israeli society and global Jewry for a rotation of three-month intensive volunteer opportunities with children at risk, focusing on informal education and empowerment, public health and agriculture.

PR4PR was founded by New Jersey philanthropist Henry Orlinsky in 2004 in order to help break the cycle of poverty, crime and dependency in Puerto Rico and empower children who come from low-income and high-risk communities on the island. It provides after school programs and summer camps for thousands of children in order to keep them off the streets and out of danger.
