Alternative Spring Break



JRP Alternative Spring Break Trip in Los Angeles

In partnership with the Progressive Jewish Alliance and Jewish Funds for Justice

Did you know that on any given night, some 82,000 people are homeless on the streets of L.A.?

Did you know that one in four Jewish Philadelphians lives under the poverty line ($21,000 annually for a family of four)?

Are you interested in learning about and engaging in direct service connected to social issues (such as homelessness and hunger) that affect communities like Los Angeles and Philadelphia?

Join JRP and the Progressive Jewish Alliance and Jewish Funds for Justice for a week in Los Angeles where participants will engage in direct service work, learn and reflect about the experience, integrate into the community, meet with inspiring community members and guest speakers, and participate in Shabbat, Purim, and other Jewish experiences.

 

Trip Dates: Sunday, March 4 – Sunday, March 11

Trip Cost: $400 program fee* + $100 fundraising commitment + the cost of travel

*The program fee includes a full week of housing, Kosher meals, local transportation, service projects, educational program and materials, and all on-site activities.   Small need-based scholarships are available.
