We have streamlined the process this year so that you don’t have to fill out a separate application. Just register for Queer Yiddish Camp and you will see the Work-Trade applications questions inside the form.

Once you register, if you’ve answered the Work-Trade applications questions, we will schedule an interview. We look forward to receiving your responses!
