The Program
Schedule
Every year when the itrek team starts to work on the Accelerator, we ask “How can we show, not tell, itrek Leaders how to create a great Israel Experience? What will inspire our leaders? What new and innovative tools would we like to introduce and how can we make sure the itrek Leaders connect to one another and have fun together?”
We’ll begin on Thursday, November 7th and end on Sunday, November 10th. Please plan to arrive at the Lanier Islands Resort no later than 5 pm on Thursday, as the program will start at 6 pm. Our program will end on Sunday, Nov 10th at 12:30 pm.

The Accelerator Weekend was helpful in crystallizing the approach we wanted to take to the conflict, and the theme of the Israel Trek, along with how we were going to balance the competing priorities and interests of our group, especially given the fact our group is going to be overwhelmingly international, compared to many of the Israel Treks from American Schools.
