THE FELLOWSHIP

Teach English on this highly rewarding opportunity where you'll develop new skills, connect with Israeli society on a personal level, and bond with a community of Fellows.

After an initial period of training, you’ll be placed in a community public school, typically with another Fellow. There, you’ll tutor small groups of students in English – teaching key concepts like vocabulary, grammar, and spelling (25 hours/week). Experienced teachers are eligible for additional responsibilities.

Beyond teaching, you’ll take part in volunteer projects according to your interests. Organized social activities and touring adventures are offered periodically. Your nights, weekends, and holidays are free for you to explore on your own.
