Diller Teen Fellows Program

The Diller Teen Fellows program is an elite, action-oriented, teen-led leadership program with an international scope.

Diller Teen Fellows Program

Limited to only 20 Los Angeles participants, the year-long commitment includes skill building, social justice activities and a joint project with a parallel teen program in Israel. The program develops future generations of leaders who will be committed to the Jewish people, Israel and community service. It offers exceptionally-motivated 11th grade students an incredible opportunity to make a difference in the world.

Created by the Helen Diller Foundation in 1998, the Diller Teen Fellows program has been successfully implemented in key communities around North America and Israel. The Los Angeles program is sponsored and funded by the Diller Family Foundation and The Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles and operated by the Westside Jewish Community Center.
