Staff Application for Summer 2008 Trips

Thank you for your interest in becoming a staff member for an Oranim trip this Summer Season which runs from May 2008 through August 2008. Oranim brought over 10,000 participants and over 475 North American staff members to Israel in the past year and we are already preparing for an exciting 2008 Summer Season. This summer is on pace to be the largest season ever for Taglit-Birthright Israel and Oranim. Not only do we expect to welcome thousands of people 'Home to Israel' we will be celebrating Israel's 60th birthday as well! Staffing a trip through Oranim is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate Israel's 60th in Israel. We will again need hundreds of North American staff members to staff the trips and we look forward to having you be one of them!

According to official Taglit-Birthright Israel rules, you must be 21 in order staff a birthright trip. To staff a trip this season, you must turn 21 by the time of departure. If you are under 21, please make sure that you sign-up as an Oranim Ambassador and register for the Oranim QuickReferral program. Please DO NOT complete the application below if you will not be 21 this summer.

If you recruit 10 participants for this seasons birthright trips you will automatically earn a free trip back to Israel regardless of your age (see official Ambassador Guidelines for details).

If you already applied to staff a trip for the Winter 2007-8 Season you DO NOT need to apply again for the Summer 2008 trips.
