The Diller Teen Fellows is an international youth leadership program for 10th and 11th grade students currently available in 26 cities in North America, South Africa, Australia and Israel. In Boston, the program is administered by the Jewish Community Centers of Greater Boston. Twenty Boston area Jewish teens – the JCC Boston Diller Teen Fellows – are selected based on leadership aptitude, commitment to Jewish learning, interest in exploring their connection to Israel and passion for community service.

The Fellowship year runs from September 2016 to December 2017 and includes 12 Sunday afternoon workshops, three weekend retreats, two overnight experiences, 10-day hosting of a Diller Teen Fellow from Haifa in the spring, and a three-week summer seminar in Israel. Applicants must be current 9th or 10th graders (10th or 11th graders in fall of 2016).

Two information sessions will take place on May 1st and May 24th from 6:30 – 8:30 pm at the Leventhal-Sidman Jewish Community Center, 333 Nahanton Street, Newton. To register for one of the sessions, visit www.bostonjcc.org/diller. To learn more, contact teens@jccgb.org or 617-558-6512.
