The Israel Religious Action Center (IRAC) in Jerusalem is looking for talented recent university graduates interested in spending 9 months working in Israel’s second largest civil rights organization. The IRAC Fellowship provides an opportunity for young North American Jews to work at the Israel Religious Action Center where they will learn about many of the challenges facing Israel today and take an active role in IRAC’s efforts to build a more just, tolerant, and pluralistic Israeli society.
The IRAC Fellow will be an integral staff person responsible for communicating IRAC’s vision and current activities to the Diaspora by writing and producing IRAC’s newsletters and press releases as well as managing the new English IRAC website (launching this summer). The IRAC Fellow will serve as bridge between IRAC and the Diaspora Jewish community, teaching all that they are learning here in Jerusalem and providing opportunities for others to get involved.
The IRAC Fellow will work in the Development and Communications Department of IRAC. In addition to learning about the compelling issues on IRAC’s legal and advocacy agenda, the IRAC Fellow will also be trained in basic nonprofit management such that he or she will have sufficient experience to work in a social justice NGO or other Jewish organization on the year following their Fellowship.
