To qualify for 2025 Y2I a teen must:

1. Be Jewish, consider themselves to be Jewish, and be raised exclusively in the Jewish faith (meaning not actively practicing another faith). Lappin Foundation warmly welcomes teens of interfaith families to 2025 Y2I.  A significant percentage of teens, some years up to 40% or more, are from interfaith families. If you need further clarification, contact Sharon Wyner, at 978-565-4450 or swyner@lappinfoundation.org.

Out of respect for traditional Jewish beliefs, Messianic Jews do not qualify for the Y2I program.

2. Be a sophomore, junior or senior in high school as of September 1, 2024.

3. Meet one of the following:

• Reside in Lappin Foundation’s North Shore service area or other communities in our Greater Boston service area
• Be a member of a Jewish organization in Lappin Foundation’s North Shore service area
