AUJS Aviv - program highlights
Have a look at the AUJS Aviv program highlights (from 2006-2007).
For more than a decade, AUJS ran its highly successful long-term Israel program, Aviv. The program is now back and better than ever before! AUJS Aviv is the perfect opportunity to experience living in Israel while on a structured and organised program.
Departing in late January 2007, AUJS Aviv is a 5½ month program with both a sound structure and generous room for individual input from participants. The program will feature inspirational educational, vocational, political and leadership seminars, excursions, hikes and extensive sight-seeing. Participants will also have a variety of month-long program options to choose from, including the amazing opportunity to spend one of the volunteer periods living in the beautiful Negev town of Yeroham.
Another program highlight will be a week long side trip to Poland as part of an extended Holocaust education program.
During your volunteer period you can choose from a variety of challenging options such as Magen David Adom, Kibbutz, Yeshiva and Volunteering. You will also have extensive interaction with your Israeli counterparts through the Mifgash (Encounters) program, allowing the opportunity to make Israeli friends and gain an invaluable insight into Israeli life. If you really want to get a taste of real life in Israel, then AUJS Aviv is the program for you!
AUJS Aviv is also a MASA-approved program which means that many participants will be able to take advantage of generous scholarship funding (individuals on low incomes may be eligible for as much as US$5000).
Subsidy
The MASA scholarship is an individual means-tested scholarship provided to anyone between the ages of 18 and 30 (17 if the participant is a high school graduate) who wants to spend at least five months in Israel on a MASA-approved program.
The AUJS Aviv program is MASA-approved and participants will therefore be eligible to apply for the scholarship. The amount that you receive, if anything, depends on your family income.
