About the initiative: ‘Intern in Israel’ was created as part of our ongoing effort to strengthen the ties between Americans and Israelis. Eligible internships must be between one-month and one-year long. We will provide up to 1,200 dollars in grant money to students ages 18-35 who plan to intern or volunteer with an Israeli organization dedicated to peace, democracy, social justice, sustainability, human and civil rights and equality.
If you are seeking an Israel travel grant: Grantees are expected to arrange their own internships, travel and living arrangements in Israel. In return for the grant, Partners for Progressive Israel will ask the intern/grantee to write about his/her internship experience for a Partners publication and to make a public appearance on behalf of the Internship in Israel Initiative and Israel’s progressive agenda.
Application process:
Applicants planning to intern in Israel should submit their applications no less than 3 months before their departure date.
