Desert Wolves at Federation of Greater MetroWest NJ

Desert Wolves is a transformative leadership and empowerment program for young women in their sophomore or junior year of high school. Run in partnership with Federation’s Greater MetroWest partner communities in Israel, this unique experience fosters cross-cultural connections, leadership development, and personal growth.

The program is limited to 15 participants from New Jersey and culminates in a weeklong trip to Israel, where participants will travel alongside their Israeli peers in the breathtaking Negev desert.
