Join ISRAEL21c as a Digital Ambassador
Since its founding in 2001, ISRAEL21c has become synonymous with reliable, thoughtfully-written, and meticulously researched content for individuals, organizations, associations, news services, bloggers, and businesses in more than 230 countries.
In January 2014, ISRAEL21c launched the Digital Ambassador Program to give young adults the ability to do something for Israel that is interesting, informative, and self-propelled.
We are pleased to announce open recruitment for our upcoming cohort of Digital Ambassadors! Participants become members of a strategic communications team, learning unique and valuable professional skills in fields like digital strategy, social media management, and public relations.
Each Ambassador uses social media to promote ISRAEL21c's apolitical stories, videos and infographics that shed light on Israel's wide-ranging contributions to humanity, its rich and diverse culture, and its democratic civil society. Ambassadors are paid and trained.
