New Israel Fund / SHATIL Social Justice Fellowships
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 Fellowship, which include a modest stipend, provide an experience where fellows spend 32 hours per week interning in an approved, individually-selected Israeli non-governmental organization (NGO), active in one of the following areas:Safeguarding Human Rights and Democratic Institutions
- Shared Society and Combating Racism
- Palestinian Society
- Social and Economic Justice
- Religious Freedom
Additionally, Fellows engage in monthly enrichment programs and periodic site visits to further develop their understanding of Israel, Israeli activism, and their role as activists both in Israel and at home. Fellows also receive training in leadership and community development.
Requirements: Applicants must be college graduates by the start of the fellowship. Since Fellows intern full time in an Israeli NGO, successful applicants must have either excellent Hebrew language skills, or very good Hebrew with strong Arabic skills.
