The six-month-long Global Justice Fellowship includes a virtual orientation, several online human rights seminar sessions with AJWS experts, a week of educational travel to the Dominican Republic and the opportunity to advocate for policy change in Washington, D.C. Participants experience the power of grassroots efforts to overcome injustice and harness their moral authority to impact national decision-makers and inspire their own communities to take action. The fellowship is open to North American Jewish clergy who possess the potential to provide outstanding leadership in shaping the American Jewish community’s commitment to global justice.
This program is highly subsided by generous donors. Fellows pay a sliding scale registration fee of approximately $180 – $540, plus the cost of any visas, vaccinations, medications, health and travel insurance, and miscellaneous costs.
The fellowship runs from November to April and includes:
- Orientation in November (online)
- Human rights seminar sessions in December and January (online)
- International travel to the Dominican Republic in late February (in-person)
- Advocacy Day in Washington, D.C., in late March (in-person)
Applications for the Global Justice Fellowship will open later this year. Watch this space for updates.
