111 Kinderkamack Rd. Eitan Shaul UJA Federation offers full scholarships to college seniors and recent college graduates who are accepted to the Otzma leadership development program, which gives young adults an opportunity to contribute a year of service to Israel and the Jewish people, while broadening their work experience and capacities to lead. This unique ten-month leadership program, for Jewish young adults between the ages of 20 and 24, is designed for those who want to learn, experience Israel through its people and not through a tour guide, develop a global perspective and practical skills, get their hands dirty in Israel and share the experience with other dynamic young leaders. The March of the Living is a yearly journey where thousands of primarily Jewish teens from around the world gather in Poland and Israel to commemorate Holocaust Remembrance Day and Israel Independence Day. UJA Federation makes scholarships available on a needs basis for this two-week program.
