SPNI's trips are non-denominational and appropriate for, and sensitive to, participants of all Jewish backgrounds. Our trips are for Jewish individuals 18-26 years old (post high school) who have never been to Israel on a peer group educational program. SPNI's programs are co-ed. There is a fully refundable deposit of $250 US ($300 CAN) required per participant for the ten-day basic program. The fee is refunded approximately 60-days after successful completion of the program.

We hope you will be one of the thousands of participants worldwide who will give SPNI the privilege of introducing you to our home and your birthright, Israel.
