From Shemita to Social Justice—11th & 12th Grade Service Trip

We are thrilled to share that we will be taking BJ Teens in 11th and 12th grade on a special Shemita trip to Urban Adamah in Berkeley, CA.

What are our Covid Protocols for this trip?

This plan has been formulated based on guidelines from the CDC, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), and our peer programs, building upon BJ’s Re-entry Task Force August report and campus operations plan. These guidelines are based on the conditions on the ground today. As such, they are subject to change if conditions change.

• All participants are required to submit proof they are fully vaccinated (two weeks after JJ shot or second Pfizer or Moderna shot) before participating in-person programming. No exceptions. 
• All participants, whether vaccinated or not, must provide proof of negative PCR test results within 3 days of departure for the trip.
• The staff and drivers with our partner organization are all vaccinated. Beyond that, we will follow all protocols put in place by the hotels and museums and will let you know what those are, if any, closer to your trip as things will change between now and then.
• Students will be in shared hotel rooms for the trip, as well as busses. When with their hotel pod, they are allowed to be unmasked, but as of now, all group travel will be masked.
