Dena Kelman

Hi! My name is Dena Kelman, and I am an 11th grader at Clevand’s Humanities Magnet in Reseda, California. Being involved in Jewish life and learning is important to me as I grow into an independent Jewish adult. I’m active in BBYO, where I serve on my chapter board, as well as the Hartman Teen Fellowship, the Lainer Fellowship, my Conservative synagogue’s youth community, my school’s JSU board and Varsity dance team. As a lifelong, third-generation Camp Ramahnik, I’m deeply shaped by the family traditions and values passed down to me, which continue to guide my identity and leadership.
