This is way more than just a trip to Israel, it's a journey of a lifetime!
For the third year, Hillel Milwaukee is offering an amazing leadership opportunity for our UWM's students.
The Side By Side Mission to Israel is more than just a trip. It is an opportunity for UWM's student leaders, to help create their own Israel experience through a deep dive into Israel and the Palestinian territories.
This mission brings Jewish and non-Jewish UWM student leaders to the region to educate them about Israel and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict: shining an international light on the complexities and nuance, in an immersive and experiential way. Participants will hear from Israel's most innovative industry leaders, meet with Palestinian activists, tour Israel and Palestinian territories and so much more!
We believe that by presenting the students with the opportunity to explore and develop their own Israel connections, those students will be empowered to bring it back to campus and continue to grow as vibrant, committed leaders in our community.
This year's Side by Side Mission 2019-2020 dates and application timeline is TBD.
Eligibility:
*The applicant must be a full time student at UWM (Priority goes to undergraduate student leaders.)
*The applicant must be a student leader/officer in a registered student organization and/or have strong influence on campus.
*The applicant can not graduate before December 2020 (and must be on campus through the Fall 2020 semester).
*If the applicant identifies as Jewish, the student must not be eligible for Taglit-Birthright (either applicant has been on Taglit-Birthright, or is not eligible for Taglit-Birthright).
NO PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE IS NEEDED!
