"Diller Teen Fellows is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Through the fellowship, I met Jewish teens from across the globe and built such a strong connection to them. Also, I learned more about myself as well as how to be an effective leader.” -Tess A, Cohort 9
"During my time as a fellow and as a Junior Counselor, I gained valuable leadership skills that I continue to utilize in my college career. I made a network of friends from around Chicago to South Africa, Australia and Israel that I remain close with today. I am so glad I did Diller and cannot recommend the program enough!" -Max M, Cohort 4 and Cohort 6 staff
Diller Teen Fellows is a prestigious yearlong fellowship for high school students interested in exploring topics in leadership, Jewish identity, social justice, and Israel. The Diller program operates in 32 communities in North America, South Africa, Australia, South America, Europe, and Israel with the goal of developing future generations of active, effective leaders with strong Jewish identities, commitment to the Jewish people, respect for pluralism, and love of Israel. Chicago launched its first cohort in 2013 in partnership with JUF's Partnership Together region in Israel: Kiryat Gat, Lachish, and Shafir.
