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.
You will be assigned to a virtual class to work with until December. We will work with you and the teacher in your classroom to define your role based on your skills and interests. You will receive monthly training, as well as extensive preparation in the beginning of the year.
