First Semester (September-January)

Conservative Yeshiva
Nativers study at the Conservative Yeshiva.[5]
Ulpan/Volunteering
Nativers intensively learn Hebrew through almost daily ulpan classes, and volunteer as well.[6]
Second Semester (February-June)
Kibbutz
Based on Kibbutz Ein Tzurim.[7]
Kehilla (Community Service)

Gesher
Nativ Gesher is a new track, whereby Nativers will have the same first semester options as the Kibbutz and Kehillah Nativers, but during the second semester they will travel to and volunteer in Masorti communities in Europe, chiefly in Berlin and London.[9]
