Educational programs and services

Manovill Holocaust History Fellowship

Available only through the Holocaust Center of Northern California in partnership with Jewish Family and Children's Services, the Manovill Holocaust History Fellowship (MHHF) offers high school students a unique opportunity to study the Holocaust at a college level. Five fellows will be selected to draw connections to other genocides and gain the tools to be advocates for building tolerance in the Bay Area.

The fellowship emphasizes experiential learning. Participants will hear from local Holocaust survivors, pursue research on a topic of their choice, work in the HCNC archives and take part in community events. Upon successful completion of the fellowship, fellows will be awarded 60 hours of community service and a $500 stipend.
