After careful consideration, this year’s Onward Israel Internship program has been canceled. Cincy Journeys, JVS Career Services, The Jewish Foundation of Cincinnati and The Jewish Federation of Cincinnati fully support Onward Israel’s decision following increased concerns and travel limitations regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. The health, wellness, and safety of our students remain our highest priority. We know it is the right decision.

Students accepted for this year’s canceled program will have priority placement for Onward Israel 2021. Also, the Cincy Journeys grants will remain available thanks to the commitment of The Jewish Foundation of Cincinnati. More information will be communicated as grant guidelines are being established. 

Onward Israel will be contacting you on or about April 21st with the official cancellation notice. They may also communicate other potential programs and internship options including a remote internship called, Onward Israel Remote, as well as, a one-month fellowship option in Israel this July. If you have an interest, we encourage you to visit their website for additional information (OnwardIsrael.org). Please note, Cincy Journeys grants may not be available for these options.
