The New Israel Fund (NIF) was established in 1979 to strengthen democracy and promote social justice in Israel, and is today Israel’s foremost social-change institution. Specifically, it works to advance the following objectives: Fighting for civil and human rights; Promoting religious tolerance and pluralism; Closing the social and economic gaps in Israeli society; and Protecting Israel’s environment.
In 1982, NIF established SHATIL, the New Israel Fund’s Empowerment and Training Center for Social Change Organizations in Israel. SHATIL builds organizational capacity of NIF grantees and similar organizations by providing training, consultation, coalition-building assistance, and other services.
Fellows also receive training in leadership and community development. Because Fellows intern full time in an Israeli NGO, successful applicants must have either excellent Hebrew language skills, or good Hebrew with excellent Arabic skills.
Eligibility–
- Applicants should be college graduates by the start of the Fellowship year
- Only U.S. and Canadian residents are eligible for the SJF
- Israeli permanent residents are not eligible to receive an NIF/SHATIL Social Justice Fellowship
