Impact: Southwest Now Cancelled

THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN CANCELLED AND WILL NOT BE OFFERED

The Impact: Southwest Culture program has been cancelled. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Experience life in the Southwest on a Native American reservation, working with the local community and fellow Jewish teens to complete critical service projects and build cultural bridges. Explore the outdoors and return home seeing the world through new eyes. Meet with community leaders. Examine Jewish approaches to social engagement, learn about leadership and responsibility, and challenge yourself in new ways.

Participate in meaningful service work that fosters strong connections between you and others.
Learn about group dynamics as you create a cohesive group, a shared ethic, and overcome challenges together.
Challenge yourself physically, mentally and socially in a stimulating environment.
Examine Jewish concepts of justice, community and civic responsibility.
Expand your personal horizons and your awareness of a culture other than your own; learn about daily life in an American community far from both the city and the suburbs.
Gain exposure to the unique and varied narratives of American life, history and culture.
Take risks, open your mind, and feed your curiosity about the world and your place in it.
