Pre-Trip Commitment:
Leading up to each trip (beginning in December), there are approximately 10 mandatory pre-trip preparatory sessions with the students & chaperones.
These pre-trip sessions take place during the week from 6:00 pm- 9:30 pm at Federation CJA.
There will also be a Shabbaton weekend prep-session with the students, held towards the end of January.
Eligibility:
Chaperones must be a minimum age of 25 years old as of May 1, 2024.
Must be of descent of at least one Jewish parent and must identify as being Jewish.
If you are the parent of a participant on one of the two trips, you will not be able to chaperone that same trip your child is on.
All of the above and more will be elaborated on Tuesday at the information session from 6:00 pm- 7:00 pm.
Applications will open as of 7:00 PM on August 15th and will close on September 15th.
We look forward to seeing you there!
