Gesher Mentor Application 5780 (2019-2020)
I'm so glad you're interested in serving our 7th graders as a Gesher Mentor this coming school year! Please read all parts of this application carefully and respond with detailed answers.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


The Gesher Mentor Program is an intensive leadership development and mentorship program open to 11th and 12th Graders. In this role, older teens mentor and teach the youngest teens in our program – the 7th Graders. Gesher Mentors work closely with the 7th Grade Faculty to support the 7th graders throughout the year in class, the B’nei Mitzvah experience, Shabbatonim, and navigating middle school. Throughout the year Gesher Mentors plan and teach the class, including a co-taught class with the faculty, a program at the Sacred Choices Shabbaton, and a multi-week elective class focused on Pikuach Nefesh (Saving a Life). Additionally, Gesher Mentors attend several B’nei Mitzvah supporting their students as they are called to the Torah in this important Jewish milestone. Lastly, Gesher Mentors serve as Jewish teen role models and provide important support and mentorship to their students. This program supports the Gesher Mentors in developing leadership, relationship building, teaching, mentorship, career, and life skills in a uniquely Jewish teen-centered way.
