Additional Information

Springboard Fellow Syracuse Hillel Role Overview Make your mark on Jewish student life by joining Syracuse Hillel as the Springboard 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 . Syracuse students are highly social and have a drive for personal excellence. They enjoy school sports (especially basketball and football), are involved leaders in many areas on campus including clubs, Greek organizations, and academic programs, and are consistently building career-focused skills. Our students truly bleed orange and are awesome (we're genuinely wowed by them daily). You will help build upon current successful engagement strategy and further Hillel's goal to inspire more Jewish students on campus. You will engage micro communities, including but not limited to first year students and students involved in Greek Life. You will think creatively about how to change culture, shatter expectations, and act in service of articulated-student needs. You'll wake up each day (or at least most) and be genuinely excited and enthusiastic about creating an inviting place that inspires students to explore, experience, and create vibrant Jewish lives. This is so much more than your average 9-to-5. About The Springboard Fellowship The Springboard Fellowship is a paid, two-year fellowship that brings recent college grads with raw talent, passion, and skills needed to reimagine and redesign Jewish student life to college campuses across North America. Trained in Relationship-Based Engagement, Human-Centered Design and other entrepreneurial frameworks, you will be exposed to the most successful initiatives from across the Hillel movement. Fellows will work with students to imagine, create, and refine experiences for Jewish life that dramatically impact student engagement, efficiently and strategically apply and scale successful initiatives from across the movement, and give birth to cutting-edge ideas that have the potential to transform how Hillel and creates inclusive spaces for #AllKindsOfJewish. We're looking for people who embrace challenges, take risks, fail, and learn from the past, while maintaining their passion and sense of humor. 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.
