Yale University Hillel has received a grant from Hillel International to host a Springboard Fellow in the coming academic year.

The fellowship is designed to train cohorts of young Jewish professionals and place them at local Hillel campuses for two years. The two-year fellowship that provides hands-on mentorship and professional development opportunities from local and national Hillel staff as well as experts from across the corporate and non-profit worlds. Fellows are expected to apply the skill they develop to engaging students in Jewish life. The class of fellows starting next school year will focus on either innovation or social justice.
