Lock-In Steering Committee Application

Lock-In is fast approaching, and we want you to help shape it by joining the Lock-In Steering Committee!

Lock-In is an up-all-night BBYO experience from 11:00pm-7:00am, packed with arcade games, mini-golf, laser tag, karaoke, food, and more. Taking place February 28-March 1, Lock-In also serves as the official launch of Rush Month, making it one of the most exciting and impactful events of the year.

Steering Committee members work alongside the Regional Mazkirim and Gizborim to help bring Lock-In to life by shaping three key areas:

Theme – setting the tone and vibe of the event through promotion, décor, music, and activities
Communications – creating social media graphics, event signage, and how Lock-In is presented to the community
Fundraiser – leading our annual Lock-In fundraising tradition, where creativity (and a little chaos) helps us raise money in a memorable way

If selected, you will be expected to attend three in-person Steering Committee meetings, all taking place at the Schwartz/Reisman Centre in Vaughan from 5:30-7:00pm on:

Thursday, January 15
Thursday, February 5
Thursday, February 19

You will also be expected to attend Lock-In, taking place Saturday, February 28 at 11:00pm through Sunday, March 1 at 7:00am. As always, scholarships are available — please reach out with any questions about the scholarship process.

The application deadline is Thursday, January 8, 2026 at 11:59 PM. You will be notified of our selections as soon as possible following the deadline. If you have any questions about applying for Lock-In Steering, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

Sincerely,
Abbie Ben-Adiva & Morgan Posner

[THEME] Lock-In is all about the vibe. If you were helping lead the Theme team, what kind of theme would you want to explore and how would you bring it to life through promotion, décor, music, and activities? Feel free to share specific ideas or examples.

[COMMS] Clear and creative communication is key to getting people excited for Lock-In. If you were on the Comms team, how would you present Lock-In to the region through social media, graphics, or signage? What would you want people to feel or think when they see it?

[FUNDRAISER] The Lock-In fundraiser is a tradition that’s meant to be fun, bold, and a little chaotic. If you were selected for the Fundraiser team, what kind of creative fundraising idea would you want to try this year? How would it motivate people to participate and raise money?
