Year Course is the largest gap year (year between high school and college) program for recent high school graduates. Over the course of nine months, Year Course participants immerse themselves in all aspects of Israeli life and culture learning Hebrew, interacting with their Israeli peers, developing an appreciation for their Jewish heritage and exploring Israel through a variety of volunteer placements. The participants take college level courses, accredited through the American Jewish University and volunteer in a variety of social service and community organizations. There are also many specialty tracks catering to participants' hobbies or interests. A few examples include Sports, Medical, Arts, Business, and Activism. Also available are religious-centered tracks (Shevet and Shalem) and travel-intensive tracks (Olami) as well as an opportunity for a small group to volunteer in a youth village in Rwanda. Over the past 57 years thousands of North Americans have participated in the program. WUJS IsraelWUJS Israel is a 5 month post college program that offers the ultimate Israel experience for Jewish young adults from around the world. The program is based in Jerusalem and Tel-Aviv. WUJS Israel allows participants the opportunity to intern with one of Israel's leading companies or NGOs, or develop an artistic talent, while studying Hebrew and more. WUJS Israel provides participants with tailor-made internships that are meant to enhance resumes and set them apart from other young people. Arts Jerusalem gives participants the time and space to create and build their artistic portfolio and an opportunity to showcase final projects in an exhibition. Participants on Arts Tel Aviv mix interning part of their week with independent work on their art. Participants learn the ins and outs of the business, educational artistic tools, and new developments in different art media. This combination allows participants to build their resumes and portfolios at the same time. Other features of the program include Hebrew language study, accommodation in apartments, educational workshops and lectures as well as field trips around Israel. Alternative Winter BreakAlthough not one of our largest programs, Alternative Winter Break (AWB) is a week-long program that immerses participants in intensive community service and experiential learning. Established in 2007, over 300 teens between 14 and 18 have participated in AWB. In each location, participants learn about problems faced by members of communities with whom they otherwise might have had little or no direct contact. AWB allows participants to learn and volunteer with local non-profit organizations, including food banks, homeless shelters, adult homes, community gardens and in the case of New Orleans, private residences still needed repair from Hurricane Katrina. Until 2010, AWB traveled to one location each year including LA, New Orleans, South Florida and again to New Orleans. In 2011, due to growing demand, Young Judaea added on an additional trip to the Navajo Nation, where the group focused on the cultural exchange and volunteered in a variety of organizations catering to the Navajo people. In 2012, when Hurricane Sandy hit the Northeast, teens, staff and parents alike felt it necessary to pull together a last minute trip and while a group still went to New Orleans to continue our work there, another group was organized in Staten Island, the Rockaways and Brooklyn to help with the Sandy cleanup efforts. In 2013, a group will again go to New Orleans and another group will return to L.A.Summer ProgramsYoung Judaea summer programs offer Judaeans and non-Judaeans alike an opportunity to experience Israel during summer break. Offered for ages 14 to 26, the range of summer program experiences is commensurate with the age group attending. Machon is a four week program specifically designed for teenagers who have enjoyed the Young Judaea experience. Campers and year round program participants alike are offered a trip specific to their upbringing in the movement they travel with their friends from camp and experience the sites and history they have already learned so much about. YJ Discovery is the matching program for teens looking for a first-time Judaean experience and I Speak Israel acts similarly while shifting the lens to Israels politics current and historical. In addition to teen summer programs, Young Judaea offers Amirim, a four week volunteer program putting 18-26 year olds into volunteer positions throughout the country. 6833324 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true true false true false false false true false false false false false true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false true 18 0 true 29 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 24 23 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true false true true false X Simon Klarfeld 9175952100 575 Eighth Avenue New York NY 10018 Don Ashkenase Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 David Bechhofer Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mike Berman President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Steve Berman Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 David Brand Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Oran Ebel Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Nancy Falchuk Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Betsy Gold Asst.

The process is as follows: 1. the applicants family fills out an online application through the Foundation for Jewish Camp. 2. the camp checks both that they have registered for camp and fits the eligibility requirements and approve in the system. 3. the FJS checks eligibility and moves the camper to a status of "to be Paid" and then 4. sends a list of campers by camp along with a check for 1/2 the grant 5. Young Judaea Global requests that the camps reconcile the list with their current list (sometimes campers cancel between being approved by FJC and upon receipt of the check by YJG. In addition, if this is not the first check, YJG checks for earlier cancelations and holds back funds if campers have cancelled after an earlier check has been received. 6. Once the lists have been reconciled YJG adds our half of the match and disperses the checks.
