Petah Tiqwa

Masa Israel Teaching Fellows in Petach Tikvah serve in a variety of schools representative of the city’s diversity. In Petach Tikvah, you’ll be able to make a real difference in a setting that suits your talents, skills and personality.

For example, some Fellows teach at a school of 900 upper-middle class children which won a world-wide competition sponsored by Microsoft for use of technology in the classroom. In contrast, other Fellows work at a school for 470 lower-income children of Israelis and immigrants from Ethiopia and Russia.

However, all the schools have one thing in common: not only are the teachers and staff eager to work with volunteers like you, each has experience doing so – an important factor in ensuring your efforts are impactful.
