Here's what former Corps Members say:
“It was inspiring to be a part of a group of teens who truly seemed to care.”
“I loved that this program was educational but not in a stressful type of way like school is.”
“This program not only introduced me to the issues but it gave me an opportunity to personally make a difference.”
“I feel a lot more proud to be a Jew right now, probably the proudest I have felt in my life.”
“When it ended, it felt kind of like camp was ending."
