Greeks Build Israel
JNF and the Israel on Campus Coalition have again partnered to offer a unique opportunity for fraternity and sorority students who have already been to Israel. Combining the Greek principles of philanthropy and community service, this alternative way to spend your spring break is an exciting seven day trip allowing the participants to make a personal impact in Israel. Most of the volunteer work will be in the Negev area where participants will engage in physical and social activities targeted at having the greatest impact on the community. At the end of the trip time will also be spent in and around Jerusalem.

Program Dates: March 6-14 or March 14-21, 2010
Who should apply: College students who are members of fraternities or sororities, and who have previously been to Israel.
Cost: Participants will be responsible to raise a minimum of $975 using an easy online program to communicate by email to family and friends, along with the help of trip staff. Monies raised will go towards JNF’s Blueprint Negev campaign supporting Israel’s newest generation of pioneers in developing, inhabiting and preserving the Negev Desert -- Israel’s last frontier. Once the money is raised, the program is FREE as the cost of the program is covered by other JNF donors. Participants are responsible for round trip transportation to and from New York.
Participants may count their philanthropic and volunteer efforts towards the philanthropy and service hours required by their home chapters. Documentation will be provided upon completion of the program.
Location: Israel (the Negev region and the North)
