Abstract
Concern regarding support for Israel on North American campuses led to the development of the Israel Fellows Program (IFP). The IFP, a collaboration of Hillel: the Foundation for Jewish Campus Life (Hillel) and the Jewish Agency for Israel (JAFI), brings Israeli young adults to American college campuses to work on Israel education, advocacy, and engagement. The IFP was launched in 2003 on six American campuses. In the 2012-13 academic year, 56 Fellows served 70 North American colleges and universities. JAFI and Hillel are working to develop systematic data that can be used as a basis for strategizing how best to extend the reach and impact of the program. The first phase of this research, conducted by CMJS focused on the implementation of the IFP within the context of its program theory of change.
