Terms of Participation:

Each participant will commit to work with a member of the Jewish National Fund-USA professional team to incorporate Jewish National Fund-USA into your school's programming. Follow-up will be tailored to fit the educational and strategic goal of each participant's school. Projects may include but are not limited to promoting study abroad and travel to Israel, participating in Tu BiShvat in the Schools, and running relevant programs related to Jewish National Fund-USA's work in Israel.

Participants are expected to share their experiences on social media while they’re on the trip and, upon return, write and/or speak about the trip to their school and in their community.

Participants will nominate three senior educator colleagues to apply for a future Jewish National Fund-USA Educator’s Mission.
