Where you'll live and work.

Masa Israel Teaching Fellows operates in 15 cities across Israel, and each city needs your help.

Once you apply to the Teaching Fellowship, Masa will match you with one of our four fellowship organizers in Israel. Each organizer works with 1-4 cities and offers a unique social or community framework, as well as the support you’ll need to make a difference on your program.

Cohorts from cities which are operated by the same provider will often participate in trainings and extracurricular activities together.

How we decide where you'll be placed

You can decide which city you would like to be placed in on the application. All applicants will receive their first choice, given they are admitted into the MITF program and there is still space in that city (each city can only accommodate a certain amount of fellows.)

If you are not sure which city to apply for, you can set up a time to talk to one of our recruitment managers about the type of community you'd like to be a part of, what kind of secondary volunteer project you'd like to do, and if you prefer to be in a certain region of the country. Note that some cities are very popular and fill up early in the application process, so you may not always get your first choice. Email [email protected] or use this link https://calendly.com/mitf if you would like to set up a call.

A few things to consider when selecting a city preference or talking to a recruiter:

- What are the schools like?
- How many other fellows will be in my cohort?
- How do people get around? What type of public transportation is available?
- What are the apartments like? How many other Fellows will I be living with?
- Are host families offered?
