The Program

Launched by FSJU Israel, Global Avenir is an innovative program dedicated to young Francophones aged 20 to 30 who wish to engage in the humanitarian and social sector. In partnership with the OLAM network and major Israeli NGOs, the program combines a two-month training in Israel, provided by sector experts, followed by a 5-month field mission — in Israel, Africa, or Asia — in areas such as emergency aid, refugee inclusion, disability, or food security.

Selected young people benefit from personalized support, professional internships in NGOs such as the Joint or ARDC, and concrete immersion in the humanitarian world. FSJU thus positions itself as an incubator for humanitarian vocations with a Jewish, Zionist, and universal dimension.

Objectives

  • To train a new generation of young Francophones committed to the humanitarian sector.

  • To offer high-level theoretical training provided by Israeli experts.

  • To enable significant field experience within local and international NGOs.

  • To create a pool of future humanitarian professionals, carrying a Jewish, Zionist, and universal identity.

  • To strengthen the ties between Francophone youth and Israeli humanitarian structures.

  • Participate in audits and committees: 6 project audits + 2 annual follow-up committees.

  • To instill a culture of solidarity, civic engagement, and social innovation.

“I had the immense privilege of working on a real project, being fully involved. Without FSJU Israel, I would never have had access to such an opportunity.”

Noémie, 24 years old, a graduate of Sciences Po Paris, joined the international department of the Joint, one of the largest Israeli NGOs. There, she set up a fundraising project for a humanitarian program in Ethiopia:

“This mission professionalized me and gave me real legitimacy to pursue a career in humanitarian work.“

Salomé, a political science graduate from IDC Herzliya, joined the ARDC (African Refugee Development Center) team in Tel Aviv. She developed a university orientation program for refugees, implemented coding, Hebrew, and English courses, and created a matching system between students and tutors.
