About the JTeach #EndJewHatred High School Fellowship
The JTeach #EndJewHatred High School Fellowship is a two year program that provides students with the opportunity to learn valuable life skills that can help them to make a positive change in the world.

All students will have the opportunity to continue as a JTeach #EndJewHatred Fellow in college/university with support and learning through the post-secondary program launching for the 2024/2025 school year.
