What is a Tailor-Made program?
Project TEN offers a unique opportunity for groups to participate in short-term volunteer programs according to the specific interests and requirements of your organization. These comprehensive programs include all of the elements Project TEN has to offer, while tailoring them according to your needs.
The group experiences will be facilitated by professional staff within each TEN center. Activities will be run in collaboration with long-term cohorts, as well as independently for your specific group. Participants will integrate with long-term volunteers in each center, meeting young Jewish adults from around the world to work together on sustainable projects in under-served communities.

Planning Your Trip
What will your trip look like?
Pre- A representative from Project TEN will meet with the director of your group and work in collaboration to map the needs of your community or organization. Together you will build a comprehensive itinerary, creating a program tailored to suit your unique needs. This will include selection of a volunteer center, volunteer project, and other programmatic elements.
Once a group of participants has been established, Project TEN will partner with you to run an orientation program, preparing participants for their volunteer experience.
During- The group will arrive at the center and immediately be introduced to the center staff and long-term volunteers. You will meet with the local population, see volunteer projects in action, and gain a thorough understanding of local needs.
Your trip will include hands-on volunteer work within these communities, travel to sites of interest, and Jewish learning sessions together with other Jewish young adults from around the world.
Post- Participants will return to their home communities with a new vitality and interest in Jewish leadership. As a group, participants will be encouraged to prepare a presentation for their community, recounting their experiences with Project TEN.
Project TEN cultivates young Jewish leaders who return home as actively engaged members of their local communities.
Project TEN will be happy to assist with post-programming for participants from your community. This may include structured alumni activities throughout the year, continued engagement in volunteer projects and centers, and opportunities for follow-up trips to any one of our TEN Centers around the world.
