• Working alongside local schools, youth centres, and community events organised by NGOs, participants will support efforts to educate and empower Thai children.

• These initiatives aim to create sustainable change by equipping individuals with knowledge and tools for a brighter future.

• Participants will begin by learning about the pressing issues affecting communities in Thailand, gaining a deep understanding of the cultural, social, and economic contexts that make these challenges so significant.

• Through this process, they will explore the moral dilemmas and complex realities faced by families in the region, fostering empathy and awareness.

• Participants will spend time building, planting, painting, and teaching English to kids, creating a lasting impact on the lives of all involved in that community.

• Before the trip commences, participants will be prepared for the trip by learning more about ethical volunteering. This will be done on a training day a few months before the trip.

• During the trip, our FZY Madrichim (leaders) will be on the ground supporting our participants as well as running different activities and sessions throughout the programme.

• On Shabbat, even in Thailand, participants will experience an FZY Shabbat with our madrichim and partners out there.

• After the trip, we will bring participants together for a summary session to explore the values of tzedakah and think about what they can do next.

• This trip is also about exploring Thailand and some of the amazing opportunities there are to do there.

• The trip is split between Bangkok and Chiang Mai, briefly finishing in Chiang Rai.

• See listed below an example of activities that could be included in this year's schedule:

  • Touring Bangkok by bike

  • Cliff jumping

  • Zip-lining and swimming

  • Visiting an ethical elephant sanctuary

Justifi is a social activism programme rooted in Jewish values like Tikkun Olam (repairing the world) and Tzedakah(justice and charity). It empowers Jewish students and young professionals to engage in ethical, values-based service by connecting them with communities facing critical challenges. Through hands-on involvement and reflection, participants are inspired to become leaders committed to justice and solidarity.

Working closely with grassroots organisations, Justifi ensures its projects support existing community-led efforts. In Thailand, for example, participants collaborate with local groups fighting human trafficking. The programme prioritises mutual learning, cultural understanding, and long-term partnerships—ensuring that participants contribute meaningfully and respectfully to sustainable change.
