Working across 6 continents, the Diller Teen Fellowship is an immersive global leadership experience inviting a select group of Jewish 10th and 11th graders to step up, lead their communities, and repair the world. Designed to cultivate and connect an emerging generation of leaders in 32 communities around the world. The program year includes a partnership model, which pairs each Diller community outside of Israel with a community in Israel. Most programming takes place in local partner communityies, and culminates with a three-week seminar in Israel in July for all Fellows.
