Diller Teen Fellows seeks to empower select teens from across the globe to become an active part of an emerging generation of Jewish leaders. By being connected to an international network of Jewish teens, Fellows serve as a force for good throughout their lifetimes.

Participants will learn and experience:

• Building relationships across the globe
• Volunteering in high-impact activities
• Deepened connection to Jewish identity
• Pluralism, peoplehood, and Israel
• Design thinking
• Collaboration skills
• Character-based leadership
• The Tikkun Olam Grant Project

You will be part of a group of peers from a variety of backgrounds, joined together by the desire to:

• Question, search, and gain insights into Jewish identity and unity.
• Experience a cultural exchange with Israeli teens during a summer seminar in Israel and a 10-day Mifgash (encounter) in Toronto.
• Cultivate lasting friendships with Toronto and Eilat-Eilot Fellows through significant partnership experiences.
• Become a member of the Diller International cohort that encompasses 32 cities.
