The Louis August Jonas Foundation is a nonprofit organization based in Rhinebeck, New York, that administers education-focused programs. For more than nine decades, it has supported youth development by promoting intellectual growth, ethical development, and global awareness. Its flagship initiative is Camp Rising Sun, a full-scholarship summer leadership program for teenagers from more than 25 countries and 10 U.S. states. Each year the program brings together 120 participants—60 young men and 60 young women—to practice leadership within a community of peers and counselors. The foundation's mission is to cultivate compassionate and responsible leadership that benefits communities and the wider world, pursuing diversity, expanded horizons, and self-reliance in a safe environment.
