Summer Volunteer Opportunity in Ukraine

[Jon Orren]

Dear SEELANGers!
 
The following announcement is for those of you who teach, interact with,
or have any exposure to college-age kids (18-25) who would be interested
in spending 7 weeks volunteering in Ukraine this summer. Please feel
free to post and distribute it far and wide. 
 
No knowledge of Russian or Ukrainian is required, but we are posting the
announcement here because this experience might appeal to those who are
studying either language. 
 
Space is limited. Deadline and contact information is listed below.
 
Thanks.
 
 
 
 
American Jewish World Service - Volunteer Summer in Ukraine
 
Do you want to see up close the Orange Revolution and Ukraine's
democratic deepening?  
 
Would you like to participate in the revival of one of Judaism's oldest
and most culturally-rich communities?
 
AJWS Volunteer Summer in Ukraine is a dynamic, hands-on cultural
immersion and service learning experience for college students and
recent college graduates (ages 18-25).  Participants will work with two
reemerging Ukrainian Jewish communities while also studying
globalization, sustainable development and the call for social justice
in Jewish texts.
 
The yearlong domestic program ensures that the summer is not an isolated
experience.  It includes three skill-building retreats, public
presentations, and continued volunteer opportunities. 
 
Applications are due on April 8, 2005 and can be downloaded from the
Volunteer Summer page
