'''Writing On For Israel''' (WOFI) is a zionist organization whose objective is to train American-Jewish High School students for two years to improve their Israel-advocacy effectiveness by improving their writing, journalism and communications skills. The program includes the following areas:
*The History of Israel
*Modern Jewish History
*Facts and Myths of the Current Conflict
*Recognizing and Countering Press Bias
*Meeting the Challenges on College Campuses
The WOFI students are prepared to engage in serious Israel-advocacy at their eventual universities and to join student newspapers. One can track the early WOFI graduates and determine that in fact most of them join the university newspapers.
==About WOFI==
From its website program [http://www.writeonforisrael.org/programRev.html description]:
<blockquote style="background-color:beige;border:1pt solid Darkgoldenrod;padding:1%">Write On For Israel is an intensive and exciting two-year program that trains a select group of high school students to become advocates for Israel through journalism. A project of the New York Jewish Week newspaper, Write On For Israel teaches students about Israel, Zionism and the Arab-Israeli conflict and empowers them to become effective advocates through writing, broadcasting and public speaking. Sessions focus on Jewish and Israel history and the facts and myths of the current conflict, as well as confronting press bias and making Israel's case to the media. The seminars are taught by top educators and professional journalists and feature appearances by Israeli officials, IDF officers, college students, PR executives and other top professionals.<br><br>
===Participants will be trained in:===
*Journalistic writing
*Media relations
*Public speaking
===When and Where Will the Program Take Place?===
The seminars will be held on seven Sundays between November and June at the Kraft Jewish Center at Columbia University, culminating in a 10-day, free trip to Israel in early July, 2006.
