UF Hillel · Hillel Ambassador Application 2024

Hillel Ambassador Application

UF Hillel’s Student Ambassadors serve as representatives for UF Hillel, welcoming new students, creating a friendly and accepting environment for all. Ambassadors host welcome events leading into the upcoming school year, give tours of the Hillel building and UF campus to prospective students, and engage in conversation about continued learning and community building opportunities within the Jewish community on campus.

Applicants should be willing to commit to being an active Hillel Ambassador within the UF Hillel community. This may include:

Attend trainings during each semester
Ambassador meetings multiple times a semester at Hillel
Attend Shabbat services and/or dinner at least 1 time per month
Plan, execute and participate in multiple welcome events and open houses at the beginning of each semester
Get to know students one-on-one and help launch their Jewish community experience

We are also looking for Hillel Ambassadors to be here during the summer semesters, especially Summer B, but it is not mandatory for all ambassadors.

An ideal candidate is passionate about Hillel, Jewish life on campus, and connecting with others. Student Ambassadors are creative and organized, and enjoy planning events and opportunities for communities to come together. They should be outgoing, personable, approachable, and able to represent the UF Jewish community in an enthusiastic, positive way.

If you have any questions, please contact Logan King, Chief Engagement Officer at UF Hillel, lking@ufhillel.org.
