What Is the AJC New England Global Advocacy Fellowship?
AJC New England's Global Advocacy Fellowship (GAF) is a unique opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of American Jewish Committee’s priorities and approach to advocacy. Fellows receive an insider's perspective on global, domestic, and regional issues impacting Jewish life, and learn about the strategies and tactics AJC uses to address today’s challenges. Global Advocacy Fellows learn to apply these techniques using case studies based on current events that address antisemitism, Israel, campus affairs, and other related topics. There is no fee to participate.
