2025 Y2I Code of Conduct and Statement of Responsibility
To be completed by Teen

    The Code of Conduct and Statement of Responsibility is designed to ensure that 2025 Y2I is an enriching, happy and safe program for every participant. Read this carefully before signing.

    I will do my best to be a productive member of 2025 Y2I. My actions will reflect positively on Lappin Foundation, my family and me. I will respect our Jewish culture and values by treating every member of the 2025 Y2I community with respect and compassion, and in the same manner that I wish to be treated. I will advocate for myself in order to get the most out of my experience, and I will not engage in any activity that puts my own or other people’s health or safety at risk. I will remain with the organized group at all times and recognize that my health and safety depend on it. I will observe all wake up times and curfews. I will respect other people’s belongings and space and will not touch other people’s things without their permission. I will take responsibility for my personal belongings and understand that Lappin Foundation will not be responsible for lost or damaged property.

    As a member of the Y2I community, I will abide by the following rules and regulations. Failure to comply with items 1-8 will result in immediate dismissal from the program:

    1. No bullying, cyberbullying, physical sexual behavior, harassment, inappropriate contact, controlling behaviors, verbal abuse, physical abuse, intimidation, or threats of violence.

    5. No theft.
    6. No new body piercing or tattooing during the trip.
    7. No smoking, vaping permitted.
    8. No hazing, or any form of violent behavior whether consensual or not.

    Lappin Foundation has the right to dismiss any teen who endangers one’s self or another individual, has continued behavioral problems, or violates the rules and regulations set forth by Lappin Foundation. Teen will be dismissed from 2025 Y2I and sent home at parent/guardian(s) expense if teen gets three strikes for violating the Code of Conduct and Statement of Responsibility. Reimbursement of $8,000 (the cost of the subsidy) to Lappin Foundation from parent/guardian(s) will be expected.

    I have read, understand, and agree to all of the above. I understand that my failure to adhere to the above policies can result in severe disciplinary action, up to and including my dismissal from 2025 Y2I. I understand that these policies are in effect throughout the entire program. I understand that should I be dismissed for disciplinary reasons:

    • My parent/guardian(s) will be responsible for repaying the full subsidy of $8,000 to Lappin Foundation.

    • I will be sent back to the U.S. immediately at my parents/guardian(s) expense.

    • My parent/guardian(s) will pay expenses for a chaperone to escort me to the United States.

    • My parent/guardian(s) will not be entitled to any refunds.
