Why Join a Teen Program in Israel?
MasaTeen Journey offers high-school teens to join in on the Masa experience. Prior to finishing high school and going off to college, it is an era of self-exploration and curiosity. Masa Teen Journey offers fellows the option to choose from three distinct types of programming, which all provide a range of experiences designed to foster personal growth, cultural immersion, and a deeper connection to Israel and the Jewish people. All while ensuring 24/7 safety and security.
In addition, we equip fellows with the tools they will need to confidently embark on their next chapter with an understanding of the realities they might face on college campuses. In this blog post, we’ll explore the unique offerings of Masa Teen Journey, allowing you to make an informed choice for your journey in Israel.
What Does Masa Teen Journey Include?
First, we are committed to providing our fellows with the Masa standard. Masa Teen Journey Fellows will take home and experience five important points of a Masa program:
- Cultural immersion: Explore Israel’s rich heritage and diverse culture.
- Personal growth: Develop resilience, independence, and a global perspective.
- Lifelong friendships: Connect with teenagers from around the world.
- Educational enrichment: Deepen understanding of Israeli history, politics, and society.
- Strengthen Jewish identity: Foster a lifelong connection to Israel and Jewish heritage.
Leadership-Based Track (6-8 weeks):
Masa Teen Journey’s Leadership-Based Track is curated by the Masa Leadership and Impact Center, which is perfect for teens seeking to engage with the challenges facing Israel and Jewish communities worldwide. Through this 6-8 week program, Fellows will have the opportunity to travel and hike throughout the country, immersing themselves in the vibrant landscapes and gaining firsthand experiences of Israel’s diverse regions. This track encourages leadership development while exploring the complexities of Israeli society.
Classic Track (8-10 weeks):
For those looking for a more comprehensive experience, Masa Teen Journey’s Classic Track offers a versatile program spanning 8-10 weeks. Fellows on this track have the freedom to choose from various programs, combining volunteer work, educational opportunities, and extensive travel throughout Israel. By actively participating in local communities, Fellows develop a deeper connection to Israel and the Jewish people, returning home with a broader perspective and a stronger sense of identity.
Semester Track (4 months to a year):
Masa Teen Journey’s Semester Track provides an extraordinary opportunity for teens to truly immerse themselves in Israeli society and culture. Spending a semester or even a full year living and learning in an Israeli high school, Fellows forge meaningful connections with their Israeli peers.
