Create meaningful Jewish opportunities.
- Student Engagement Internships are designed to dramatically enhance Jewish life on campus. Each campus employs a cohort of students with broad social networks to build relationships with uninvolved Jewish students over the course of a year.
- Each Intern is charged with building relationships with uninvolved Jewish students on campus. Serving as a resource to meaningful opportunities, the Student Engagement Interns strive to advance Jewish values in the context of their relationships.
- Interns strive to understand students' interests, passions, and aspirations - and connect them to opportunities that the students may find meaningful and engaging.
- Student Engagement Interns are given a budget to plan initiatives 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 and Alternative Break trips.
- The Student Engagement Internships are on a significant number of campuses that have a large uninvolved Jewish population.
