Can't make it to Israel this year?

ISRAEL21c offers an online paid internship, and they're currently looking for social media savvy students.

Learn more about their Digital Ambassador Program here.

ISRAEL21c is a nonprofit media organization that curates and distributes content on Israel's wide-ranging contributions to humanity.

How to use this list

Start by downloading your spreadsheet copy (will open in a new browser tab).

Next, go through the internships list below, using the spreadsheet to note which programs to apply for, and later, track your progress.

Keep in mind as you go through the list is that while some of the internships listed below are paid internships, many have significant fees to cover besides airfare and living expenses.

Even if your parents can help out or you can dip into some of your own savings, it might not be enough. So…

Should you look for an Israel internship during the coronavirus pandemic?

Sadly but not surprisingly, many 2020 internships in Israel have been or will be canceled:

Due to COVID-19, many companies here are in the middle of or have transitioned to remote working and dealing with the challenges of a suddenly poor economy, and running an internship program is a lower priority.

However, if you can demonstrate that you can work remotely, you can propose such a virtual internship to companies you think you could help. You'll need to reach out directly to companies as opposed to going through a program such as Way More Israel, but try reaching out first to companies that were supposed to have relevant in-house internships this year. Maybe their websites or social media have an update on their internship's status.

Next, try companies who have had such internships in the past by searching LinkedIn for those ex-interns. In parallel, if you don't speak Hebrew, look for other local companies who have English websites and propose how you could help them (this applies for companies anywhere in the world too, by the way).

At worst, this research will help you learn about companies you can begin networking with, putting you at the head of the line when they restart their internship program in the future, and hopefully that will be soon enough for you.

How will you fund your Israel internship?

Here are some ideas on how to pay your way:

Grants – for example, many of the internships listed here allow you to cover at least part of your fees with a Masa grant Funds and scholarships – apply for funds and scholarships, such as Keith Berman's fund. Top Israel Interns has a great list of scholarships on their site. Also, many of the organizations listed offer their own scholarships, such as WUJS Israel. Crowdfunding – crowdfund your internship using Gofundme like Molly did Fundraise – once they got accepted for an internship, Ashley & Carley sold tshirts to pay for the trip

Other questions and remarks I've had:

Any internships in Israel for non-Jews?

Many of the internships do specifically say they're aimed at Jews, but not all. If you're not Jewish, avoid organizations that specifically mention Judaism or Zionism in their name or internship description. If you take a look at the success stories, you'll see a few are from non-Jews.

Any internships for Israeli students?

Most of the programs are aimed at giving foreign students an authentic Israeli experience, which is why they often have fees such as for travel and accommodations. However, there are a few programs and openings that anyone can apply for, including local students. Basically, if the description doesn't mention the above fees, there's a good chance it's open to Israeli students as well.

The internship I want is no longer available, or the deadline has passed.

If there's an internship that interests you but the application deadline has passed, you should still reach out to the organization. On the one hand, there may be some flexibility if the application deadline was recent. On the other hand, last minute cancellations mean open spots for you.

Ultimately, the list is like a job board. It's up to the organizations featured to update about any changes to their listings.

I'm going to be in Israel for a short period of time. Are there any internships available then?

It usually takes time for interns to learn the ropes and become productive, so most internships are more than a couple of weeks. While there are exceptions where you can step in and help right away, there's still the issue of your timing matching the organization's.

With those issues in mind, your best bet for a short term internship is to research organizations (commercial, academic, non-profit) you could help and propose an internship to them.

What are the benefits of going through an internship placement program as opposed to applying to companies directly?

Chaya from Top Israel Interns explains:

We have a whole team of placement coordinators who know the Israeli job/internship market and already have relationships with some of the top companies in Israel. A lot of companies in Israel prefer to work with TII as oppose to an individual because they know us and because they know that we are credible (for example-we do background checks)

We provide accommodations. For a foreigner it can be quite tedious and difficult to find and lease an apartment. We take care of all of that for our participants so they don't have to.

We provide social events for our participants. Our participants have weekly evening activities with their madrichim and day trips where they have the opportunity to explore the country.

We also provide Career Advancement programs that include but are not limited to workshops on public speaking and entrepreneurship!
