Israel Trip Education
Please let Danielle know if you have any questions or are interested in joining either or both of these programs.
The Jewish Federation of Greater Houston's Israel Teen Ambassadors empowers high school students currently in 10th-12th grade to be knowledgeable about Israel and to champion a strong U.S. – Israel relationship. This program provides participants with the tools necessary to engage with Israel in the realms of politics, culture, arts, science and more.

In addition, another optional opportunity is the IMPACT Israel Fellowship. We piloted this new initiative here in the Houston Jewish community this past summer and are looking forward to continuing it into the school year. This is for students who want to engage with multiple perspectives and challenge questions of identity in order to lead communal discourse about Israel as a value, idea, and modern nation-state of the Jewish people. In addition to those who participated over the summer, the fellowship is open to all Israel trip participants.
All meetings will take place on Sunday afternoons from 1:30-3 pm.
