Jewish Teen Social Service Opportunities

CC Diller Teen Fellows

The Diller Teen Fellows is a 15-month pluralistic, national, youth leadership fellowship currently available in 16 North America and Israel communities. Twenty Boston area teens - the JCC Diller Teen Fellows - are selected yearly based on their leadership aptitude, commitment to Jewish learning, interest in exploring their connection to Israel, and passion for serving their community. Fellows participate in monthly Sunday workshops, three weekend retreats, a 10-day peer-peer exchange hosting the Haifa Diller Teen Fellows in Boston, and a three-week trip to Israel in the summer. Applications are accepted in the spring. Fellows must be high school sophomores or juniors. Teens from all backgrounds are encouraged to apply. For more information, go here.

The Fellowship year runs from September to December of the following year. The cohort is announced in June each year.
