What is the Diller Teen Fellowship?
The Diller Teen Fellowship (DTF) is a national initiative to promote Jewish teen leadership based on a successful model implemented in San Francisco for the past twelve years. It is a selective year-long program for local cohorts of twenty 10th and 11th graders, focusing on Israel education, leadership training, community service, and Jewish ethics and identity-building. It is the hope and belief of the Helen Diller Family Foundation that by investing in our teens today we will be creating the future leaders of the Jewish Community. During eight Sunday workshops and three intensive weekend retreats, Fellows participate in a Jewish educational training series and create and implement social service projects. The program also includes a three week Summer Seminar in Israel and a ten day peer-to-peer exchange in North America with Israeli teen leaders.
