-A six-week immersive experience in Jerusalem, Israel;
-High level internship placements;
-Leadership development through the Masa Leadership Academy and the Harvard-developed Adaptive Leadership framework for mobilizing communities;
-Personal and professional connections and exposure to case-studies that fuel your career;

Participants on Onward Israel programs that are run in partnership with Masa may return to Israel on long-term Masa programs after Onward Israel although the size of any potential scholarship may be influenced by prior participation on Onward Israel.
