The URJ Teen Israel Organizing Fellowship is an immersive nine-month fellowship for high school students (ages 14-18) to learn about the society and culture of Israel and learn how to organize within their communities. Fellows will spend four months learning in Israel during the Fall 2023 semester at URJ Heller High followed by five months organizing in their communities back home.
By participating in the Teen Israel Organizing Fellowship, Fellows will receive:
- A $15,000 stipend that will offset the cost of tuition at Heller High (available only for the Fall 2023 Semester).
- A new course for Teen Israel Organizing Fellows about community organizing and about social issues and culture in Israel
- Mentorship and support from Jewish young adults from around North America
