Ambassador honours British global competition finalists

Elan Gorji, Interim CEO of JNF UK, expressed excitement about the program’s launch, building upon the achievements of the previous cohort. Elan Gorji stated, “Our community comprises an array of inspirational individuals, and we hope that the JNF UK Israel Fellowship Programme will enable our future leaders to learn from them and follow in their footsteps. This Fellowship Programme will provide our talented Year 12 students with unparalleled opportunities to explore Israel, develop leadership skills, and witness first-hand the tremendous impact that JNF UK is making on the lives of those most in need. The overwhelmingly positive feedback from our current Fellowship Cohort highlights their deepened understanding and connection to Israel.”

The Fellowship Programme application process will open on Monday, 19 June and run for 4 weeks.
