Legacy Heritage Fellowship is looking for the best and brightest

legacy heritageLegacy Heritage Fellowship is looking for the best and brightest individuals interested in a career in government, international relations, public policy, Middle East policy, Israel advocacy, politics, the media, etc. 

The international program aims at creating future influential leaders and opinion makers dedicated to helping Israel in a meaningful way.

The Fellowship places exceptional applicants in North America, Europe and Israel in a year-long paid fellowship with major organizations, think tanks, NGO’s and media settings supporting pro-Israel policy. Fellows are given positions in the countries in which they currently reside and are mentored by senior executives in their placements.  In addition to their ongoing professional development (including monthly conference calls, newsletters and regular communication with their peers), the Fellows attend three educational conferences held in Israel, Europe and the United States. The conferences include outstanding speakers, significant networking opportunities, skills training, workshops and excursions.  The Fellows also implement a Middle East Public Service Initiative that they design and execute during the Fellowship year. 

The deadline for applications is February 2, 2009.  All relevant information is available at: www.legacyheritage.org
