Goes By: NIF/SHATIL Social Justice Fellowship
Be sure to consult the Fellowship Website for complete eligibility and competition requirements.
10-month immersive experience in Israel/Palestine, where fellows work on cutting-edge social justice issues alongside veteran activists.
Fellows spend four days per week working on the front lines of social change at a premiere Israeli social change organization. NIF staff facilitate monthly seminars featuring NIF partners and grantees which aim to educate fellows on the breadth and depth of social justice issues in the region–from occupation and illegal annexation to Mizrahi struggles, LGBTQ+ campaigns, and beyond. Fellows can expect to make real, valuable contributions at their work placements and develop marketable skills and knowledge while immersing themselves in communities of values-aligned Palestinians and Israelis building movements for justice and equality.
Upon acceptance to the program, fellows will identify the issue they would like to spend the year working on. The fellowship program coordinator in Israel will work with each fellow to find an appropriate placement. Fellows receive a $23,300 stipend to cover living expenses.
Fellows on the NIF/Shatil Social Justice Fellowship will be fully integrated in Israeli NGOs so successful applicants should have strong Hebrew language skills, proficiency in Arabic, or another non-English language of Israel/Palestine. Applicants should be at least 22 years old by the start of the fellowship year. NIF strongly encourages individuals from all backgrounds, including LGBTQ people, Jews of color, Palestinians and people of Arab heritage, as well as women to apply.
The application deadline is typically in January/February. Refer to the program website for exact dates.
