Campus Engagement Internship Program

Penn State Hillel invests in training student interns to serve as engagers, organizers and educators of their fellow students. 

Our engagement interns tap their personal social networks (fraternities or sororities, business majors, foodies, artists) to connect friends and friends of friends to each other, and to launch student-run Jewish initiatives on campus. They learn to build authentic relationships, create new Jewish experiences, expand communities, and impart sophisticated and relevant Jewish content.

We understand that the success of this initiative depends upon deep and meaningful supervision. That’s why intern supervisors include authentic Jewish teachers, relationship builders, and community organizers who have a deep knowledge of Judaism and considerable educational skills. The educators mentor and teach the interns, and meet students through the interns’ social networks and their own engagement efforts.

The takeaways from this internship stay relevant once the internship concludes and after graduation: Hillel is creating a pipeline of future Jewish leaders, prepared to create accessible Jewish experiences with and for their post-college communities.
