NIFC\/SHATIL Social Justice Fellowships<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The NIFC\/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. This fellowship places young Jews in Israeli NGOs for a year of in-depth contribution and learning.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The NIFC\/SHATIL Social Justice Fellowship is a 10-month 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:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Safeguarding civil and human rights<\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Pursuing environmental justice<\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Promoting Jewish-Arab equality<\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Advancing the status of women<\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fostering tolerance and religious pluralism<\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Bridging social and economic gaps<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Additionally, Fellows engage in monthly enrichment programs and periodic site visits to further develop their understanding of Israel, Israeli social justice, and their role as leaders both in Israel and at home. Fellows also receive training in leadership and community development.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Because Fellows intern full-time in an Israeli NGO, successful applicants must have either excellent Hebrew language skills, or good Hebrew with excellent Arabic skills. Living expenses are covered by a modest stipend.<\/p>\n
