Thank you for your interest in applying to be part of the second annual
NewGen Advocacy and Leadership Summit, hosted by the
New Israel Fund Australia. The summit will bring together a small group of progressive Jewish Australians in their 20s and 30s for a weekend of learning, skill-building, and meeting with decision-makers in Canberra.
Together we’ll explore how to strengthen a progressive Jewish voice on Israel and Palestine, gain practical tools for advocacy and community leadership, connect with like-minded peers who share a commitment to justice and equality, and talk with decision makers in Parliament and beyond to understand how we can help shape the conversation.
The summit will be held in Canberra, Australia from the evening of Friday 9 October to Monday 12 October (only Monday will require taking off work).
All accomodation, transport and food costs will be covered by NIF Australia. Participants will pay a small deposit that will be returned after completion of the Summit.
If you have any questions about the program or application, please reach out to Elisheva, Policy & Impact Manager, at elisheva@nif.org.au
Applications Close 11:59pm Sunday 16 August, 2026. Shortlisted applicants will be contacted on a rolling basis.
