METNY USY/Kadima Mini Golf Summer Kickoff 
Thursday, June 17, 6:30 p.m. at Saxon Woods 

More info TBA from METNY. Contact Lindsay Fabes, Heather Nover, or Bruce Varon.
Application due by Shabbat on Friday, June 25.

Madrichim in who will be in 9th-12th grade this fall and Madrichim-in-Training (MIT) (who will be in 8th or 9th grade this fall) serve as role models, working with teachers to create a positive environment throughout Kulanu Learning Program.

Following our successful pilot year of MIT, teens are now required to complete MIT before becoming Madrichim. Rising 8th graders (and rising 9th graders who were not in the MIT pilot) should select MIT in their application.

Teen placement will be determined based on a combination of factors, including teen requests, teacher requests, and scheduling. PLACEMENT IS LIMITED. Priority will be given to returning Madrichim and earliest received applications

MIT tuition is $118. All other Madrichim are volunteers.
New in 2021! For rising 12th graders, only
In Memory of Dr. Sheila Adler zā€l

Students in 12th grade who have participated in at least three years of Madrichim are eligible to apply for the ELI 2.0: Educational Leadership Institute for the Next Generation.
