About the Program
What will your students do and learn?
Eighth graders participating in this program will take part in a series of workshops designed to prepare them to become Madrichim (counselors and facilitators).
The M.I.T. program includes workshops and an apprenticeship. The Madrichim seminar is a hands-on course preparing the students to be Jewish role models. This workshop includes the following topics:
- Defining the role of a Madrich
- Leadership skills
- Madrichim responsibilities

Students will also work "in the field," preparing activities for our Religious School, work with current Madrichim and teachers.
