Welcome to RootOne!
We're so happy to have you here. Thank you for starting the application process to RootOne LLC. We help connect thousands of Jewish teens to Israel by lowering the financial barrier to participation in immersive summer trips to/related to Israel and by investing in the educational quality of those experiences. We’ve helped bring over 13,000 teens to Israel, and we’re so happy to welcome you into the community.
About Us: Seeded by a generous gift from The Marcus Foundation, and powered by The Jewish Education Project, RootOne provides major subsidies for trip participants (called RootOne Vouchers*) and collaborates with trip providers to maximize the educational impact of these experiences. A RootOne Voucher will be provided upon the successful completion of the prerequisites laid out in this application. Please note that if you are eligible for a RootOne Voucher, all funds will be transferred directly to your selected trip provider and utilized to reduce the cost of your trip.
Money will NOT be sent directly to individuals. Vouchers are limited and are not guaranteed.
Next Steps: As part of your RootOne Voucher application, you will fill out a bit about yourself and agree to policies related to participation in early learning and research, and completing the trip. You and a parent will also need to sign and submit some waivers and permissions. We estimate completing the application itself to take about 20 minutes. We ask questions about you both to help us understand our incoming class of voucher participants and to confirm that you are eligible for a voucher. If you land on an ineligibility page, which you think is in error, please write to your trip provider or to us directly at
info@rootone.org.
We're already a big fan of yours, and can't wait for summer.
*A Root One Voucher will be provided depending on program length from $2,000-$3,000. Inquire with your individual trip for more information.
