The JNF Bronfman Green Fellowship is a ten-week Jewish and environmental learning and action fellowship.  The fellowship aims to explore the intersection of basic human needs, the environment and the Jewish tradition.

Students will meet weekly at the Bronfman Center and at site visits throughout New York City and New York State for hands-on learning and volunteering.  Students will commit to one day of volunteering and learning per week for the fall semester and will receive $150 each for their participation and the opportunity to work with professional environmental specialists to help implement a local improvement project with a budget of up to $10,000!

During spring break the students will be part of the JNF Alternative Spring Break trip to Israel where they will perform service work and participate in special seminars on Judaism, Israel and the environment.  As part of the action component of the program, the fellows are given a large grant for their discretionary use on a project aimed to assist in the environmental improvement of their communities.

The program kicks off this June 1-4 with a free four day Jewish Environmental Seminar at the Teva Learning Center’s annual Teva Seminar which includes an Organic Agriculture and Educational Gardening Track: Learn to design and maintain a thriving educational garden. This track facilitatied by the Jewish Farm School.
