NIF/SHATIL Social Justice Fellowships in Israel
Applications for 2010 – 2011 are now available. The NIF/SHATIL Social Justice Fellowships enable a cadre of post-college Jewish young adults to spend 10 months immersed in the movement for social change in Israel. These fellowships, which include a modest stipend, place young Jewish activists in Israeli non-governmental organizations for a year of in-depth contribution and learning. Because fellows intern full time in an Israeli NGO, and because training sessions may occur in Hebrew, successful applicants must have either excellent Hebrew language skills, or good Hebrew with strong Arabic skills. For more information, including application materials, visit www.nif.org/sjfellowships. Contact Rachael Sondak with questions at [email protected] or 202.513.7834.
Is this a new fellowship program or are there alumni here who can talk about their experience, what we can expect, etc.? This could be great for a couple of my friends.
Indeed there are. I want to say this fellowship is going on over ten years, but yes there are plenty alumni who can talk to you. Best bet is to contact NIF.
