LFT enables young Jewish leaders to develop skills to advocate on behalf of the Jewish people, Israel, and human rights, and to serve as positive change agents for their peers and community.
Graduates of LFT enter college with the knowledge and confidence to engage in dialogue regarding antisemitism and Israel. LFT participants will learn about past and current Israeli affairs, challenges and opportunities facing global Jewry, and how to utilize strategic networks in advocacy.
High school students who will be sophomores, juniors or seniors during their LFT term are eligible to apply. There is no cost to participate.

“Through LFT I’ve learned to combat anger and hate with love and reasoning. Not only have we learned how to combat anti-Israel rhetoric, but we’ve also learned to diffuse high tension situations with a calm thought process. We can use our knowledge and reason to become leaders in our future endeavors. We have been equipped with everything we need to succeed.”
