ABOUT ONWARD ISRAEL
When you grow, so do your opportunities. Global experience gives you that extra competitive edge. Our programs take you Onward – personally and professionally – and allow you an authentic taste of modern day Israel while gaining experience and knowledge through an internship opportunity. Onward Israel is designed with the beginning in mind: The beginning of your success story. Start up your future in Israel.
A majority of our programs are Onward Israel – Masa programs, carried out in partnership with Masa Israel Journey. Onward Israel, first established in 2012 as a program of the Jewish Agency for Israel, is now a department of Taglit Birthright Israel. Onward is a partnership between lead philanthropists and foundations, Jewish communities, and organizations from around the world. It also serves as a major platform for mid-length internship experiences in partnership with Masa Israel Journey.
SUMMER 2023 PROGRAM
Live like a local and experience a new work environment while gaining valuable skills and connections. The Onward Israel Winter Internship program in Tel Aviv offers you the opportunity to develop your professional future and build your resume through a high-level internship experience for 8 weeks.
While in Israel you will intern alongside Israeli peers and immerse yourself in contemporary Israeli society. Experience Israel through Onward Israel’s exclusive day trips, overnights and seminars. In your free time, explore Israel’s amazing restaurants, beaches, and nightlife with a cohort of other young adults.
