World Partners Fellowship
World Partners Fellowship is awarded to recent Jewish college graduates and young professionals seeking an intensive international volunteer service opportunity. For ten months, fellows live independently and volunteer at an NGO (non-governmental organization) in India or Central America. As part of this service-learning experience, fellows engage in personal reflection, educational seminars and skills-building workshops through an in-country orientation and retreats with a peer-learning community.
The program is an opportunity to learn about human rights in an international context, make valuable contributions to a grassroots organization and explore Jewish values that substantiate and motivate this work. Fellows return to their communities inspired by what they have seen and accomplished, prepared to advocate for community building and social change at home and abroad.
Upcoming Application Deadlines
Fellowship timelines and locations for 2010 will be announced soon.
