To qualify for 2027 Y2I and March of the Living Holocaust Education Trip to Poland a teen must:

1. Be Jewish, consider themselves to be Jewish, and be raised exclusively in the Jewish faith (meaning not actively practicing in another faith). Lappin Foundation warmly welcomes teens of interfaith families to 2027 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 2027 Y2I and Holocaust Education Trip to Poland.

2. Be a sophomore or junior in high school as of September 1, 2026.
3. Meet one of the following:

• • Reside in Lappin Foundation’s North Shore, Greater Boston or Merrimack Valley service area
  • Be a member of a Jewish organization in Lappin Foundation’s North Shore, Greater Boston or Merrimack Valley service area
