Springboard Fellow Hillel of San Diego at UCSD Role Overview Make your mark on Jewish student life by joining Hillel of San Diego at UCSD 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 . At UCSD, nearly 2,000 Jewish students are woven across eight colleges and an ecosystem of over 10 Hillel student groups that reflect the incredible diversity of our campus. At Hillel of San Diego at UCSD, students don't just attend events, they meet their best friends. In this role, you will be the face of that experience: building a strong presence across campus, meeting students where they are, and helping them find "their people" within our community. You'll design and facilitate fun, high-energy programs that are more than just great events, they're entry points into lasting relationships. This role is integral to our growth because meaningful Jewish life on campus starts with connection, and you will be at the center of creating it. 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.
