Non-profit Organizations11-50 Employees
Birthright Israel Onward offers immersive, mid-length programs in Israel for young Jewish adults, combining professional development with cultural and community engagement. Its offerings include customized internships lasting six to eight weeks, four-week fellowships, and remote-work opportunities designed to provide hands-on experience and help participants build a global network. During these programs, participants live in Tel Aviv and engage with Israeli society beyond the tourist path through curated day trips and local experiences. The organization operates in the nonprofit sector and has integrated its Onward Israel programming within Birthright Israel following a merger announced in 2022. Ilan Wagner, Onward Israel’s CEO, joined Birthright in a leadership role as part of the merger to oversee Onward programming. As a relatively small nonprofit, the entity focuses its efforts on providing Israel-based experiences that support career development and personal growth for its target audience.
