Social Entrepreneur Initiative

INNOVATE, COLLABORATE, CREATE.
Join a team of extraordinary students charged with transforming Jewish student life.

Hillel's Social Entrepreneurs Initiative Internship is designed to dramatically enhance Jewish life on campus. Hofstra Hillel will employ 3-5 students with broad social networks to build relationships with more than 175 uninvolved Jewish students over the course of a year.

Each Intern is charged with building relationships with 35 uninvolved Jewish students on campus. Serving as a resource to meaningful opportunities or potentially a friend in challenging times, the Campus Entrepreneurs strive to advance Jewish values in the context of their relationships.

The Interns strive to understand students' interests, passions, and aspirations - and connect them to opportunities that they may find meaningful and engaging.

Interns are given a budget to plan activities that identify them as relevant and Jewish, enable them to meet uninvolved Jewish students and follow-up with them in an authentic, comfortable, and open way. Initiatives have the dual purpose of attracting uninvolved students and advancing Jewish values.

The Interns provide on-going relationship-building, especially as follow-up to immersive and meaningful experiences such as Taglit-birthright israel trips, Alternative Break trips, etc.

Applications are now closed for the 2009-2010 academic year.
