The Collegiate Leadership Internship Program (CLIP) is a selective, paid internship experience in New York City for college students to develop professional skills, explore 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 work 4 days a week at their placement site and spend time each week in social and experiential in-person seminars that focus on personal and professional development with a cohort of 30 peers. Semester interns work 12 hours per week at their placement site and spend one half-day per week in seminars.

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 seminar will take the form of a weekend-long Shabbaton retreat from Friday-Sunday outside of the city, with transportation provided by CLIP.
