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.

We're currently reviewing applications on a rolling basis, and availability is limited. Start applying – you'll be taken to an external site. It only takes a moment to apply.
GET INTERVIEWED
We’ll connect with you via email to set up a brief initial conversation with our staff so that you can get to know us and we can get to know you.
COMPLETE THE APPLICATION
Once accepted, we'll invite you to complete the full application, and you'll be able to submit the deposit, health forms, a background check, resume, and passport copy
