High School Age Programs
Alexander Muss High School in Israel (AMHSI)
AMHSI is a study-abroad program in Israel for high school students. The program offers 6-week summer sessions, 8-week year-round sessions, and a full semester program. This is a high school unlike any other, where education is imparted through experience, and history is infused into everything students do. While keeping up with classes from their home school and gaining important college preparatory skills, they also learn about Israel through firsthand experience. In Israel, their "classroom" is the land itself, whether it’s at the home of David Ben-Gurion, at the beach, atop a mountain, or inside an ancient fortress. All this makes learning more interesting -- and more important, memorable -- for teens. Read more.
March of the Living
The Leo Martin March of the Living is an annual educational program, which brings students from all over the world to Poland, in order to study the history of the Holocaust and to examine the roots of prejudice, intolerance and hate. Since the first March of the Living was held in 1988, over 150,000 youth from around the world have marched down the same path leading from Auschwitz to Birkenau on Holocaust Remembrance Day. .

Diller Teen Fellows Program
The Miami-Yerucham Partnership is proud to be partnering with the Center for the Advancement of Jewish Education (CAJE) in funding the Diller Teen Fellows Program, an international leadership program for Jewish teens. Limited to only 40 young adults from Miami and Yerucham, the year-long commitment includes skill-building, social justice activities and a joint project in both Miami and Yerucham. Throughout the year, Diller Teens in North America and Israel participate in educational workshops, weekend retreats, and create and implement social service projects. Highlights also include a three-week Seminar in Israel, the Diller Teen International Leadership Congress, and a 10-day peer exchange in North America during which North American communities host their Israel counterparts. The program develops future generations of leaders who will be dedicated to the Jewish people, Israel and community service.
The Diller Teen Fellows Program will help bring the Miami-Yerucham Partnership, and a deep love for Israel, into the hearts and homes of so many in Miami’s Jewish community. For more information, click here.
