Nina Leff, 17

Daughter of Barry Leff and Amy Leff
Riverwood High School

Nina proudly displays her ties with her local Jewish community and Israel. She’s been involved in her local BBYO chapter for years and has risen to the levels of N’siah (President) of her chapter, and Sh’licha (Vice President) of her entire region. Her semester abroad in Israel in 2023 profoundly inspired her to take on leadership roles, and get involved in groups like StandWithUs, with whom she is a member of the teen leadership council. In the same vein, Nina has co-founded the Birthday Project, which aims to turn October 7 from a day of grief into a day of kindness and service, raising money for Yemen Orde, an at-risk youth village in Israel. She’s also very active at Riverwood, where she acts as the advocacy chair for the Ronald McDonald Club and is a member of the IB Mentorship program and JV golf team.
