Nachshon Leadership Training

Are you a leader? Do you want to absorb yourself in Israeli society? In Nachshon, the sky is the limit…

Nachshon is a 10-month leadership training program for Israeli or Jewish high-school graduates from overseas. Nachshon is an authentic Israeli experience. It is the first program to bring high-school graduates to Israel to devote 10 months to social leadership together with their Israeli peers. This is not a tourist program. Nachshon participants speak Hebrew and live with Israelis in a completely Israeli environment.

Nachshon emphasizes leadership. The participants take an active role in the governing of the program along with the experienced staff. The program focuses on both study (of a wide range of subjects including Judaism, Israeli history, Zionism, environmental studies and more) and volunteer work, as well as other activities like a first-aid course, travel throughout the country, an army preparation week, a survival week, social events and more.

The program was initiated by a group of caring, non-partisan citizens who strove to improve society by investing in youth. It is approved and supervised by the Israeli Ministry of Education. It is also recognized by the Masa Project, and run in partnership with the Israel Experience, the leading organization in educational tourism in Israel.
