Make a lasting impact on Jewish life through IACT (Inspired, Active, Committed, Transformed), Hillel's innovative strategy that harnesses the power of Birthright Israel. In addition to guiding students on impactful Birthright Israel experiences, the IACT Coordinators will engage with the students prior to their departure and upon their return. They will empower them to be leaders in Jewish communities on campus, and inspire them to seek out additional Israel-related opportunities. IACT Coordinators are excited to engage students in Israel and in Jewish conversations and have a deep understanding of Jewish identity as a framework for shaping meaning, value, and purpose in the lives of emerging adults. They wake up each day (or at least most!) genuinely excited and enthusiastic to help students explore, experience, and create vibrant connections to Israel and Jewish Life. The IACT Coordinator is the center of Israel and student engagement on campus.

Positions available in multiple locations across the US for a Fall Semester 2025.

The Collegiate Leadership Internship Program (CLIP) is a selective, paid internship experience in New York City for college students to develop professional skills, explore their Jewish identity, shape their community, and connect with mentors and a cohort of values-driven peers. CLIP matches undergraduate students with engaging, substantive internships at Jewish nonprofits based in NYC.

Summer interns spend Monday through Thursday working full time (8-hour days) at their internship placement, and full day (9am-4pm) Fridays in social, experiential seminars with their cohort. CLIP seminars are where the personal meets the professional: we ask big questions about professional life and leadership, learn tangible professional development skills, network with guest speakers, explore excursions throughout the city, and consider themes around Jewish identity. One of these seminars will take the form of a weekend-long Shabbaton retreat from Friday-Sunday outside of the city, with transportation provided by CLIP.

Faces of October Seventh is a small nonprofit founded by two young Jewish professionals (with backgrounds as campus professionals). In the aftermath of the October 7th terrorist attacks, they felt a deep urgency to bring firsthand voices of survivors to college campuses. Our mission is threefold: to counter the spread of misinformation, to empower Jewish students and allies with strength and inspiration to stand against antisemitism, and to support survivors and families of victims by amplifying their stories. What began as a handful of campus visits quickly grew into a global movement — with hundreds of requests from universities, synagogues, churches, and community centers. In response, we developed an efficient system for vetting speakers, building itineraries, and managing logistics. With over 400 events behind us, we’re excited to invite student interns into this vital and deeply meaningful work.

About the Internship 

You’ll be trained to represent Faces of October Seventh with confidence and compassion. Under the guidance of our co-founders, you’ll help plan and support survivor speaker visits, ensuring these powerful stories reach a wide range of communities and that their trips unfold as smoothly as possible.

Your primary focus will be organizing itineraries for upcoming speaker events. This includes maintaining and building new relationships with diverse community leaders — from Hillels and synagogues to churches, advocacy organizations, and beyond. You’ll also coordinate schedules, help determine routes, travel logistics, and more.

As a growing grassroots organization, we’re also open to shaping this internship around your skills and passions. There’s room for the position to expand into areas like fundraising, communications, or strategy, depending on your strengths and interests.
