Do you want to go to Israel?
Do you have what it takes to be a leader?
Are you looking for the experience of a lifetime?
You could have the opportunity to
- Be recognized as a young Jewish community leader
- Travel to Israel for a unique three-week summer seminar
- Participate in an exchange program with Israeli teens in Pittsburgh
- Build relationships with other outstanding young people from across North America and Israel
20 Pittsburgh and 20 Israeli Fellows will engage, separately and cooperatively, with four themes:
- Jewish Identity
- exploring our commitment to Jewish values, tradition, memory, faith, culture, connection with Israel and a sense of shared destiny
- Tikkun Olam
- encouraging participants to act according to a sense of communal responsibility in Pittsburgh, Israel and globally
- Leadership
- developing the skills and knowledge necessary to effectively impact and inspire others
- Community
- instilling a deep connection between Pittsburgh Jewish teenagers, our counterparts in Israel and other Jewish communities around the world
The Diller Teen Fellows Program is an exceptional leadership opportunity that unites teens from over a dozen cities in North America and Israel. The Program creates opportunities for Jewish 10th and 11th graders of diverse backgrounds to cultivate leadership skills, explore Israel-Diaspora relations and develop and implement community service projects. Program highlights include the spring North American Seminar, when Israeli Fellows from Karmiel/Misgav are hosted by their local peers, and the Israel Summer Seminar, when we are hosted by the Israelis.
Registration for 2011/2012 has been extended. Please contact Steve Kroser (below) for application forms and more information.
