Support the English Overseas Program

English Overseas is a collaboration between the Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan and the Municipality of Jerusalem that connects Jerusalem high school students with older adults who are native English language speakers. Israeli students receive the opportunity to practice and build their oral English language speaking skills with a friendly and encouraging partner.  

There are regular opportunities for volunteers to come together in person and over Zoom, enjoy celebratory gatherings, share tips and best practices, receive informal training, learn more about Israel through lectures and programs, and be part of a special community. 

Join the hundreds of intergenerational, cross-cultural pairs that have formed, connect with Israel in a unique way, and make a difference in a teen's (and your own) life!
