:: Jewish Student Leadership for a Diverse World
Fellowship Opportunity!
Theme: Jewish Latino Outreach |
The Simon Wiesenthal Center’s Museum of Tolerance, an international authority in anti-bias and leadership education, developed the Jewish Student Leadership for a Diverse World fellowship program to prepare Jewish high school seniors for living, working and representing the Jewish people in a diverse world. It combines the cutting edge practical wisdom of some of our foremost Jewish leaders today with the best in experiential learning practices pioneered in the corporate world and higher education.
The goals are to equip each student with the awareness, information and practical skills to interact in a diverse world, confront misinformation about Jews and Israel, and build bridges of understanding for mutual support. The practical focus of the course is on outreach and coalition-building with Latino communities as our neighbors and allies. As part of the program, fellows will meet and work with Latino youth peer leaders in a special Inter-Cultural Institute before planning hands-on outreach projects.
