Experience Israel!

The Israel Experience Committee works to promote Israel programs for teens and college students in our community as well as securing funding through grants and scholarship funds so that all Jewish youth in Greensboro who are interested may have an Israel Experience. The Greensboro Jewish Federation has a long standing commitment to fostering the development of Jewish identity in teens. We feel that each young person should have an opportunity from our community to visit Israel and we make that happen!
