RootOne LLC is a Delaware limited liability company, whose sole member is the Board of Jewish Education, Inc. d/b/a The Jewish Education Project, a New York not-for-profit corporation.

Teens must first apply to a RootOne-affiliated trip through their trip provider’s application portal. Then, their trip provider sends them a link to a RootOne application. Once their eligibility is confirmed, they must complete pre-trip requirements, including online learning through our portal and a pre and post-trip survey. Then, the Voucher is either deducted from the cost of the trip or reimbursed, depending on the trip provider.

RootOne provides Vouchers up to $3000 per participant.

In order to receive a RootOne Voucher, an individual must be a current 9th, 10th or 11th grade Jewish teen, must reside in the United States or Canada and must apply to one of the programs listed under our Find a Trip page.

For summer 2026, current 12th graders are also eligible for RootOne Vouchers.

RootOne Voucher recipients must also complete pre-trip early experience requirements, participate in post-trip engagement opportunities, and sign the required releases.

There is no set deadline because applications are rolling, but when there are no longer Vouchers available, applicants will be added to a waiting list.
