UMBC Hillel is offering an internship for next school year in order to create a stronger and more welcoming Jewish life on campus.  We will hire up to eight interns and they will each be eligible for a $1000 stipend for building relationships with Jewish students, beginning with your own (as they say in the movies) social network and branching out from there.  The idea is to get people more connected based on shared passions and interests.  If you’re involved in a student organization, Jewish or otherwise, doing the internship could also be a good opportunity to broaden the reach of the organization(s) in which you’re involved.  Meanwhile, this internship is an opportunity to develop your own leadership and networking skills through regular supervision, mentoring, and Jewish learning.

Here is more information about the internship.  Note that at many other campuses, the interns will be exclusively uninvolved students.  At UMBC, we are tailoring the internship so that a more diverse group of students can apply.

We are planning to send at least some interns to for training in St. Louis for a few days from August 3 to 7 and will also do training for all interns later in the summer.  We will talk to you more about this during the interview process.

You can find the application here on-line.  Application deadline has been extended through the end of this week.  It’s the same application format used for Hillel professionals, so please don’t fret about the first few sections.  It’s section 6 that really counts.
