The Teen Israel Organizing Fellows will travel to Israel and attend Heller High during the Fall 2024 semester. While there, they will learn about Israel’s past and present; meet community organizers, experience various social justice issues up close, and hone their leadership and community organizing skills. Upon returning  home in the Spring of 2025, fellows will put into practice the tools they gained by completing an Israel organizing project in their local communities.
