Program Details:
The Social Innovation Fellowship is a hands-on entrepreneurship program that inspires and empowers Jewish teens to be changemakers in their community. Taught in partnership with expert entrepreneur Henrik Scheel of Startup Experience, fellows will develop an entrepreneurial mindset and skill set while working on a team to create their own social enterprise to tackle problems in the community and work towards Tikkun Olam, repairing the world.
This real-world, resume boosting experience includes a kick-off innovation boot camp, 5 dynamic business building workshops, mentoring from local business leaders, and now introducing an exciting NYC weekend innovation tour!
