Jewish/Israeli high school students from the Bay Area are planning and participating in a June 2015 trip Guatemala to volunteer on service and social justice projects.
UsYouMe creates opportunities for adolescents to plan and lead trips that provide vital services to communities in the developing world. By engaging students in every aspect of trip preparation and execution, UsYouMe preserves and strengthens the three key idealistic impulses of adolescence: Creativity, Courage and Belief. As their inner core is developing, teens are most in need of experiences that reinforce these impulses and encourage idealism to blossom.
UsYouMe’s innovative program fills the gap, transforming students, who have grown up as “receivers” into “givers,” who take responsibility for planting and planting seeds that heal the world. Concentric circles of lives are touched, as the seeds take root in the young givers, grow strong in the communities they serve, and bear fruit into future acts of generosity around the world.
UsYouMe's strategic partners include Project Ten, The Jewish Agency, and the Oshman Family Jewish Community Center in Palo Alto, California, as well as in-country NGOs.
