Ramp it Up! with Yachad
"An amazing experience! I learned so much, not only about construction and capentry, giving back, and leadership, but about myself and my capabilities. I surprised myself with how much I was able to do."
Ramp it Up! with Yachad is a summer program for high school students who have completed their freshman year. Students spend a week building an accessibility ramp for a lower-income homeowner with disabilities. Work is done under the supervision of a professional carpenter and counselor. Using team work, 4x4s and power tools, students develop leadership skills, learn about issues of poverty, civil rights and the Jewish values of tikkun olam - repairing the world.
30 SSL/Community Service Hours are awarded.
Session I: June 28 - July 2
