Y2i 2023 Continuity Appeal sneak peek
Later this year Y2i will be running the 2023 Continuity Appeal where we will raise funds to ensure Y2i can support Year 10 Israel programs into the future. In the lead up to the appeal we spoke to some Year 10 students before they went to Israel at the end of 2022 and again after their trip. Here’s a sneak peek of what they told us about their journey.
Origins of Y2i
Year 10 Israel trips have been operating for over 30 years, but never with particularly high levels of participation. How could that be changed? Enter the Gen08 Continuity Report in 2011 and subsequent JCA Touch Points Communal Review which led to the formation of Y2i.
Impact Event 2023
The 2023 Y2i Impact Event celebrated 2,000 participants in Y2i supported programs. Guests heard from recent and past program participants, parents and educators about the impact their Year 10 Israel trip had on them, their children, the students and their schools over the years.
