As a participant in the Madrichim (Hebrew for "guides") program, you are committing to a professional role in our community. We expect that you will consistently attend, arrive on time, stay until the end of the session, and participate fully while you are here. We understand that one-off absences may happen, and it is your responsibility to contact the Lifelong Learning office AND your lead teacher (if applicable) as soon as possible to notify us.

If you know you will have to consistently arrive late or miss a chunk of sessions (due to sports, school, clubs, activities, etc.) email education@tinyc.org to let us know! We will work with you to find a solution that best fits your schedule and the needs of our community.

Participating in the Madrichim program is a wonderful opportunity to work on leadership skills, earn volunteer hours, and give back to your Temple Israel community. Madrichim are always our first calls when looking for teens to volunteer or staff other programs, so participating in the program can open the door to many other opportunities.

Typically, a participant is placed in a classroom and asked to assist a lead teacher with various tasks - from running errands, to chaperoning a student to the restroom, to setting/clearing up an activity to leading a part of a day's lesson. From time to time, participants may also be asked to assist with other administrative tasks in the Lifelong Learning office or used as a "runner" in case of any unexpected needs which may arise on a given day.

Classroom madrichim are welcome to submit their preferences for the age/grade of students with whom they'd like to work, and/or a specific teacher with whom they feel comfortable working. Like any request, a student's first choice will be considered but cannot be guaranteed. We also may elect to change your assignment in the middle of year; working with various leadership styles is an important life skill that we want to work with you to develop.

* Select the time(s) you are interested in:

* Why do you want to join/rejoin the Madrichim program? What do you hope to gain from this experience?

* What qualifications do you have to serve in this sort of role? What unique qualities or character traits can you bring to the team??

If you are interested in working with a specific age group or class, this is also the place to elaborate on why you'd be a good fit.

* Aside from school, what are the other activities in which you participate? How do you think these activities might impact your ability to be effective if you are accepted into this program?

* I know a training session is required and it will take place on a date tbd in September. I will make every effort to attend this session in its entirety. If I have an extenuating conflict which prevents my full attendance, I will contact the Lifelong Learning team IN ADVANCE to discuss alternatives (attending for part of the time or a make-up session). I understand that I will not be able to serve as a madrich/madricha/madrichim without some sort of formal training sponsored by Temple Israel....Additional trainings and workshops may be held during the school year, and I will do my best to attend those as well.

* In order to participate in the Madrichim program, I know that my family must be members of Temple Israel. I also know that I will need be enrolled in Jr Academy (if I am in 7th grade) or, if I am in 8th grade or older, "Academy All-Access" or sign-up for the Madrichim program as part of the "Pay-As-You-Go" option before I can begin my service in this role.

Academy All-Access enrollment

Pay-As-You-Go program option

* I understand that joining the Madrichim program is a serious time commitment, and I will therefore attend Religious School/Jr. Academy/B'nai Mitzvah lessons during the times expected of me each week, as well as periodic madrichim team meetings. If I am unable to attend for a one-off session, I will contact both the Lifelong Learning office my lead teacher (if applicable) as soon as possible. If my consistent attendance becomes a problem, or if my schedule no longer allows my full participation, my role in the program may need to be re-assessed.

* I understand that in this role, I am a role model to younger students. I will present myself in a positive, enthusiastic, and professional manner in front of younger students. If I am not able to meet these expectations, my participation in the program may be called into question.

* After I press submit, I understand that a copy of this application will be sent to my parent/guardian for review. That adult will need to give their endorsement of my application in order for it to be approved and advanced in the process.

Are there any questions or concerns you have about the Madrichim program?
