AVI CHAI is interested in developing the Jewish knowledge and inspiration of camp directors and staff, which in part are the goals for Lekhu Lakhem , Yitro, the Cornerstone Fellowship and the Achva programs. We also fund a small program through the Foundation for Jewish Camping that provides tuition reimbursements for camp directors and assistant directors who participate in Jewish education courses.
