“Why go straight to college, when you could have the year of a life-time on Nativ?”
— Ethan Weg“Nativ 32 grounded my dreams in reality. It opened my eyes to the possibilities of my future, and reaffirmed in my mind that working in the Jewish world was not only something that I want to do, but that it is my destiny. I learned that the best teachers are not necessarily the ones who have an official certification, but are those who are passionate about what they are teaching, and are invested in the future.”
— JoHo“During my year on Nativ I met some of the best friends that I will ever have. We spent our second semester in Yerucham volunteering, hiking, camping, cleaning, cooking, and having the time of our lives. Without Nativ, I wouldn’t be the person that I am today.”
— Daniel Warshawsky“While on Nativ I found myself as a person within my group of friends. Became confident in who I was and came out of my shell as I found my voice in a crowd. This is how Nativ College Leadership Program in Israel has impacted my life. It gave me a chance to be myself while learning leadership skills and qualities I still use today.”
— Corey Bass, Nativ 27“Nativ has impacted my life in countless ways. Without Nativ I would never have met some of my best friends in the world, or experienced some of my all time favorite moments. But most importantly, Nativ gave me the time and space to really get to know myself and grow into a more cultured and confident individual.”
