Join us in welcoming Leo and Olivia — LAJF’s new social work interns! They’ll be supporting our programs, helping with camper selection, mental health for youth, and program inclusivity. Leo and Olivia are both current seniors at the New York University (NYU) Silver School of Social Work. We’re excited to have their unique experiences and perspectives on our team, so that we can continue to strengthen our program offerings and support for our participants.

Every month, we’ll be highlighting a member of our wonderful global alumni community. This month, we’re spotlighting Sarah Schecter (CRS ‘19, ‘21), who hails from Oakland, California! Sarah was part of our most recent in-person Camp cohort in 2019, and then went on to help facilitate our virtual CRS session this past summer. Through her experiences at Camp, she discovered what servant leadership means to her and the ways in which she can embody compassionate leadership in her own life.

Every month we send out an email newsletter to keep you — our community — up to date with everything going on at LAJF and CRS!

We will be sharing a few of the projects made during the second session of Virtual CRS 2021 for you all to watch and enjoy! The Languages Project was proposed by campers who wanted to spend time together learning about and teaching each other about languages.
