Partnership 2Gether
Partnership2Gether (P2G) is a program of the Milwaukee Jewish Federation and the Jewish Agency for Israel, designed to cultivate people-to-people relationships, projects and professional programs between Milwaukee and our partner region, Sovev Kinneret, in Israel. Volunteers from Milwaukee collaborate with their Israeli counterparts on education, cultural exchanges, regional planning, medical care, ecological and economic development initiatives.
Galilee 2 Great Lakes: Explore Freshwater Ecosystems
Study and research freshwater ecosystems in this program designed for current high school sophomores and juniors. You’ll collaborate and share knowledge in this cross-cultural program, studying the waters of Lake Michigan and the Sea of Galilee. The program includes a trip to Israel to learn first-hand about complex freshwater ecosystems and to help develop solutions via hands-on research for the future of water conservation. Following, Israeli students will come to Milwaukee for a similar study.
Program Highlights:
- Collaborate with high students from Israel to learn about water ecosystems and usage across two regions – Milwaukee & Milwaukee Jewish Federation’s Parntership2Gether (P2G) Region, Sovev Kinneret – with the goal of creating positive environmental change within each region
- Travel to Israel in June 2023 for a 7-day trip to learn about water infrastructure, green technology, and other water-related initiatives.
- Accommodations and meals provided by local hospitality in our partnership region
- Be a part of group that welcomes the Israeli delegation to Milwaukee in July 2023
Cost: Approximately $1,350.00 to cover the cost of round-trip transportation and airfare to Israel
