Sunday, November 4th Codman Farm Volunteer Opportunity
Codman Farm is a non profit farm, committed to preserving local agriculture and open spaces. The animals are humanely raised and also used throughout the town of Lincoln. The farm provides community gardens, delivers hay to local land so it can be seeded and maintained as conservation and not developed. A non-profit farm relies on the needs of volunteers to maintain the good work they do for the community, so Boston teens from Havayah and Teens for Tzedek will be doing hands-on work to help this small community farm flourish – and let’s take advantage of being outside while we still can!
Time: 12-3 pm Location: Codman Farm of Lincoln

This unique summer program brings you together with
approx
other socially conscious teens who have a desire to explore the land
of
Israel through the lens of Social Justice and Community Service.
You will
easily bond with this group through your orientations in the spring, and at
the same time get ready for the task of living with
twenty
Israelis over
the next
five
weeks. During the first
three weeks, the Israelis are
your hosts in Haifa, where you will stay overlooking the Bahai Gardens.
You
will work in the community at places like hospitals and animal shelters, and
you will also get to experience "home hospitality" by staying with
the family of one of the Israeli teens. During the next
three
weeks, you will reverse the process as the whole group will come back to
America
