Travel Opportunities
Experience social change around the world.
Study Tours
AJWS Study Tours are rare opportunities to witness grassroots change up close. Each 7-10 day philanthropic adventure to Africa, Asia, Latin America or the Caribbean is led by AJWS staff and goes beyond the bounds of traditional tourism. Together, we will explore how our dollars can reverse poverty and injustice and empower people to build a more just world.
Global Justice Fellowship
AJWS’s Global Justice Fellowship is a selective program designed to inspire, educate and train American rabbis to become advocates for human rights. Together, Global Justice Fellows help to build a more just world for all.
We were transported to these activists’ world of extraordinary bravery and complexity, and we walked away feeling that we had born witness to real change.
Suzanne Schecter, AJWS Board Member
AJWS Study Tour to BurmaI cannot yet tell people about my trips in a way that fully captures the emotional impact they have had on me, and perhaps I never will. But I will continue to find ways to articulate these journeys. Traveling to meet grantees is how I derive inspiration for my leadership at AJWS. Their work inspired me before, but once I saw it with my own eyes, it changed me forever.
