Every year, 20 Muslim and Jewish young professionals are selected for the fellowship to gain the skills, relationships and networks necessary to transform how Muslims and Jews relate to each other in the United States.  Through a combination of evening programs and weekend retreat, fellows...

• Enhance their skills in conflict resolution and communication

• Explore the diversity of Muslim and Jewish communities

• Learn about religious traditions and experiences of Anti-Semitism and Islamophobia

• Practice and experience honest conversations about Israel-Palestine

• Develop projects, programs, and volunteer opportunities to work for social change
• Create partnerships between Jewish, Muslim and other civic organizations
• Work to influence their communities, organizations and peers through presentations, programs, writing and other media.

Currently, the NewGround Fellowship is only offered in the greater Los Angeles area. 

Due to demand expressed across the nation, NewGround will be packaging the curriculum and training facilitators to replicate the program in cities across America for young professionals and people of all ages.
