You don't need to arrive knowing how to do every part of the job. We're looking for someone with strong relationship-building instincts, initiative, organizational ability, and a desire to grow.
If you're energized by the idea of combining relationship-building, Jewish creativity, program coordination, and community engagement, we'd love to hear from you.
Claremont Hillel serves students across the Claremont Colleges, creating opportunities to build community, explore Jewish identity, and develop as leaders. Through a creative, student-centered approach, we build meaningful Jewish experiences alongside students. This role offers hands-on experience in engagement, programming, leadership development, communications, operations, and community-building.
