What is Masa Israel Teaching Fellows?

As a Masa Israel Teaching Fellow with Israel Experience, you will become a mentor, a teacher, and a role model to dozens of Israeli children. You will have the opportunity to bring your creativity, passion, and personality into the classroom—but more importantly, you’ll bring English to life for the next generation of Israelis, many of whom have never had the opportunity to talk to a native English speaker. You will be working in the school for 20-25 hours a week, under the guidance of the head English teacher at your school and with the ongoing support of the Masa ITF with Israel Experience staff.

Masa Israel Teaching Fellows with Israel Experience is not just about your time at school! There is so much to explore outside of school as well – in your new local community of Bat Yam, Haifa, or Rishon LeZion, or anywhere in the country. During the 10-months of the program, you will live in the center of town, volunteer once a week in a placement related to your personal interest, make friends with local Israelis your own age, enjoy Shabbat and Jewish holidays with an Israeli family the program will happily set you up with and much more!

Throughout your 10-month Masa Israel Teaching Fellows with Israel Experience journey, you will have a unique opportunity to take part in trips and seminars throughout the country! exploring Israel from north to south you will get to hike the country’s beautiful landscape, meet fascinating people and dive into different issues in Israeli society – such as Israel’s minorities, religion & state in Israel, Israeli politics & society and more. You will have the opportunity to seriously upgrade your Hebrew through Ulpan – Hebrew classes.
