Peer Engagement Internship

The Peer Engagement Internship (PEI) is a year-long internship for sophomores and juniors interested in building a community of connectors. Successful interns will build relationships and create meaningful Jewish opportunities for their under-engaged Jewish students through one-on-one coffee chats and occasional event planning.

Internship Tracks

PEI includes three distinct roles for interns, each offering a unique way to foster Jewish community on campus:

• Campus Connector: Intern focused on one-on-one outreach, building relationships, and engaging students within their existing communities and networks.
• Greek Ambassador: Member of a Greek organization who serves as the Jewish life point-person for their chapter, hosting at least two Jewish events per semester and holding 10 coffee chats with fellow members.
• Birthright Street Team: Intern who connects with Birthright-eligible students, sharing information, building excitement, and helping them sign up for the trip.

Intern Responsibilities

• Engage with students who are not already involved in Jewish life on campus through Hillel.
• Attend the initial intern training at the Leadership Retreat on Sunday, September 14.
• Attend 3 full group meetings each semester.
• Check-in with your supervisor four times per semester.
• Engage 10–25 new students per semester, aiming for 30–50 students over the course of the year.

Plan one event per semester (e.g., Shabbat dinner, holiday meal, social gathering). Events can be co-hosted with a peer.
