Make your mark on Jewish student life by joining Boston University Hillel as the Engagement Fellow. You will build one on one relationships with students, plan and execute engaging events and programs around campus, and help inspire students to make a commitment to Jewish life. This is a big, exciting job for BU Hillel, delivering impact to 4,000 Jewish students, the largest population at a private school in the world.
Do you have an unrelenting idealism for what the world could be? Imagine a job where you get to make a meaningful impact on both individuals and the world every day – then this is for you! This position reports to the Executive Director and is part of a cohort of other engagement focused staff Fellows. This position asks for a 2-year commitment to this position and BU Hillel.
You’ll receive training from BU Hillel and Hillel International professionals, and learn from Jewish leaders on how to seamlessly weave Judaism into your work as a Hillel engagement professional. Each day you will be charged with empowering students to engage in meaningful and joyous Jewish lives, weaving in Jewish values, texts, and history.
If you’re team-oriented, never give up, and truly believe that you must “be the change you wish to see in the world,” then this is the position for you! Extensive Jewish education is not necessary — just an interest in creating a vibrant Jewish community, a commitment to learning, and the desire to make a difference in the lives of students and the world.
