Apply Now for the BeWell Miami South Dade Teen Wellness Fellowship

Applications are now being accepted for rising Jewish 11th and 12th graders in South Dade to join the second cohort of the BeWell Miami South Dade Teen Wellness Fellowship. Launched in fall 2024 at Scheck Hillel Community School and expanded this year to also include a South Dade community cohort, the Fellowship enables a select group of teens to explore their own mental health and wellbeing while learning how to best support themselves and their peers — all through a Jewish lens. In addition to becoming trained and certified in nationally recognized Teen Mental Health First Aid, participants dive deeper into teen mental health and gain leadership, peer support skills and real-world tools to promote wellness, while also completing a community impact project. The second cohort of the South Dade Fellowship runs August 2026 through May 2027. For more information and to apply by May 29, click here. BeWell Miami is a program of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation.
