Elijah Cummings Youth Program (ECyP) in Israel

Grounded in the historic tradition of cooperation between the African-American and Jewish communities, the Elijah Cummings Youth Program in Israel (ECYP) fosters positive relationships between all ethnic communities in the 7th congressio­nal district. ECYP is a selective two-year fellowship where students learn skills that help them become leaders who promote interethnic, racial, and religious under­standing. Each year, ECYP recruits and provides new Fellows the opportunity to assume new responsibilities, affirm leadership potential, and learn the importance of civic participation.
