The Ripple Effect of itrek

The itrek Team

November 14, 2019

itrek was established upon one basic premise: that bringing future leaders to Israel can have profound ripple effects.

Our treks introduce tomorrow’s leaders in business, law, policy and STEM to Israel, helping them experience Israel firsthand through peer-led, week-long experiences.

itrek is the only organization that brings diverse groups of future leaders to experience Israel during graduate school, a uniquely formative moment in their lives and careers. The vast majority of itrek participants (91%) are non-Jewish, expanding the reach of future leaders with a firsthand connection with Israel.

Our unique peer-led model empowers graduate student leaders to craft treks that appeal to rising leaders, whether that’s meeting with political leaders, visiting sites of historical importance or strategizing with tech startups.

We need your help to ensure our program can continue to scale and last long into the future. We need to raise $100,000 by December 6th in order to support the over 90 itreks we have planned for 2020. Thanks to the generosity of our alumni trek leaders, we have already reached a quarter of the goal! All of the money raised goes directly toward itrek participant subsidies, as well as training, tools and support for itrek Leaders. Every dollar will be matched by a generous donor to double your impact.

Your support will help itrek bring the real Israel into focus through even more leaders’ eyes.
