Staffed by Shlomi Ravid of Israel, Julie Gaines-Golde and Melissa Stern, the center collaborates with the Israel Project, a college campus Israel advocacy group, and the Israel Experience, a nationwide project to promote teen travel to Israel.

Another feature of the center is Tzavta, a network for alumni of long-term Israel programs.

The center is sponsored by the Jewish Community Federation in partnership with the Jewish Community Relations Council, Bureau of Jewish Education and Northern California Hillel Council.
