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. Students will be provided with learning, resources, guidance and support in the design and implementation of constructive means of advocating against Jew hatred and anti-Zionism, with a focus on peer education initiatives. Students who are currently in grades 10, 11, or 12 may qualify to participate in the program. Students who begin the program in grade 12 will serve as JTeach #EndJewHatred Fellows in their grade 12 year and in their first year of college/university. 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.

Students who successfully complete the JTeach #EndJewHatred Fellowship program will be eligible to join the Student Advisory Board and will have the opportunity to influence the overall program in meaningful, constructive ways.

Year one of the program focuses primarily on the developing of leadership skills and learning how to put together peer education initiatives.
