Humanity in Action: International Summer Fellowships in Human Rights
Amsterdam – Berlin – Copenhagen – Lyon – Warsaw
The HIA Fellowship brings together international groups of Fellows to study minority rights and produce research exploring how and why individuals and societies, past and present, have resisted intolerance and protected democratic values. Separate programs will take place from June 1 to July 1, 2012 in the above listed areas. Intensive and demanding, the HIA Fellowship features daily lectures and discussions with renowned academics, journalists, politicians and activists, as well as site visits to governmental agencies, non-profit organizations, museums and memorials. Participation requires a great deal of intellectural curiosity and stamina, as well as the ability to work effectively in international teams.
Current sophomores, juniors, seniors and graduates from the undergraduate classes of 2010 and 2011 are eligible to apply. All majors and academic disciplines are encouraged to apply. No foreign language knowledge is required; all HIA Fellowship Programs are conducted in English. HIA covers the cost of participation and accommodation during the Fellowship. All Fellows will be responsible for the cost of airfare.

New Israel Fund – Social Justice Fellowships 2012-2013
Online applications now available!
NIF/SHATIL Social Justice Fellows spend 32 hours per week interning in an approved, individually-selected Israeli non-governmental organization (NGO), active in one of the following areas:
- civil and human rights;
- social and economic justice;
- environmental justice;
- Jewish pluralism
Additionally, Fellows engage in monthly enrichment programs and periodic site visits to further develop their understanding of Israel, Israeli activism, and their role as activists both in Israel and at home. Fellows also receive training in leadership and community development.
Because Fellows intern full time in an Israeli NGO, successful applicants must have either excellent Hebrew language skills, or good Hebrew with excellent Arabic skills. Living expenses are covered by a modest stipend. The Fellowship year runs from September 1, 2012 – June 30, 2013 and completed applications, including two letters of reference, are due on January 20, 2012. Applicants should be college graduates by the start of the Fellowship year. Only U.S. and Canadian residents are eligible for the SJF; Israeli permanent residents are not eligible to receive an NIF/SHATIL Social Justice Fellowship.
