The Grad Network initiatives draw upon the rigorous and intellectually-exciting environment of both Columbia University and New York City. As much as The Grad Network contributes to the campus community, it is a part of the Jewish ecosystem in New York City.

• Community Partnerships: Design a diverse, accessible, and compelling set of Jewish experiences throughout the city and in our surrounding neighborhoods to bring Jewish life beyond Columbia’s campus and meaningfully connect Jewish graduate students to Jewish life, history, and opportunities throughout New York. You’ll do this through building relationships with Jewish community partners throughout the city and producing collaborative initiatives.
• Shabbat and Holidays: Elevate the Jewish experiences of students on campus by leading our efforts around Grad Network Shabbat (a monthly Shabbat dinner) and holiday experiences for graduate students. Empower students to create their own celebrations and experiences with your guidance. 
• Jewish & Israel Education: Support and lead an arc of programs and educational opportunities that deepen graduate students’ engagement with big Jewish questions.
• Communication: Expand reach by maintaining and growing The Grad Network’s communication channels. Produce the weekly community newsletter, manage social media platforms, and share information with University communication systems.

What You’ve Accomplished

• Bachelor’s degree required.
• 2+ years of post-graduate, full-time work experience or a graduate degree in Jewish studies, Experiential Education, Social Work, or a related field.
• Experience in grassroots community organizing, Hillel, youth movements, camping, or experiential Jewish education is a plus

What You’ll Bring to the Job

• A strong knowledge base of Jewish content, ranging from traditional Jewish texts to contemporary Jewish wisdom, culture and unconventional Jewish sources.
• Expertise in leading complex conversations about Judaism and Israel in a way that is approachable and meets students at various points in their personal Jewish journeys.
• A commitment to creating an inclusive, vibrant and pluralistic Jewish community.
• Passion for connecting with people from different backgrounds, with the goal of building authentic and meaningful relationships
• Familiarity with the landscape of Jewish life in New York and enthusiasm for the breadth of Jewish expression in the city
• Excellent communication and active listening skills
• Ability to work both independently and as part of a team

Role Overview

Make your mark on Jewish student life by joining Goucher College Hillel as our Israel & Engagement Coordinator. This position is designed for an early-career Jewish professional looking to utilize different skill sets. You will be our primary engagement professional, working with peer engagement interns to make sure every Jewish student at Goucher has an opportunity to advance their Jewish journey at college. You will also be our primary professional connecting Jewish students to Israel and global Jewish communities and cultures, creatively presenting educational content and experiences to deepen our students’ knowledge and sense of peoplehood. 

This position is made possible with support from the Israel & Overseas Department of the Associated: Jewish Federation of Baltimore and has been designed with the campus culture of Goucher College in mind. Goucher is a liberal arts college fully committed to expanding students’ global consciousness through study abroad and cross-disciplinary studies, and as such this position’s title and responsibilities reflect a Hillel approach in that same spirit. As Engagement & Global Jewish Life Coordinator, you will bring an understanding of the campus environment and a deep connection to and understanding of Israel and global Jewry to this position, along with a motivation to make an enduring impact on our students and gain professional expertise.

As Israel & Engagement Coordinator, you will be the beating heart of our Hillel community, bringing knowledge, creativity and passion to the work of opening doors for student involvement through Israel and the global Jewish community, and providing the strategy and oversight for Hillel’s engagement strategies.  Along the way, you will be mentored by the Executive Director and gain skills that will help you support Hillel and advance in the field, including working with lay leadership and the local community as well as advancing our partnership with the college.

What You’ll Do

• Oversee student engagement, including personal engagement focused around Israel and global Jewry, including creating people-to-people connections; along with recruiting, training and overseeing Engagement Interns
• Enhance connections to the worldwide Jewish community through weekly Israel and global Jewry programs and Israel education, including larger campus-wide programs, in coordination with Hillel International, the Associated, and other partner organizations.
• Enable students to grow skills of advocacy and dialogue around Israel, and knowledge of when and how to use these skills.
• Recruit for (and hopefully staff) Birthright Israel trips.

• Staff events and meetings in rotation with other staff
• Connect with our Board of Directors and supporters to communicate ongoing activities, and find ways to get them involved and connected with students.

Past examples of “day to day” work we’d expect the Israel & Engagement Coordinator to be involved in:

• Meeting with engagement interns to share notes about social networks and find a way to connect with pockets of students not currently involved with Hillel
• Meeting with a third year history major who has returned from a semester in Morocco and expressed interest in becoming more involved in Jewish life on campus, connecting them with resources on and off campus to build knowledge of Jewish history in Europe and Africa.
• Meeting with student leaders to facilitate productive discussion, and help the group think through all the angles and work necessary for an upcoming program.
• Working collaboratively with Executive Director to prepare a report on student activities to be used for an upcoming board meeting or a fundraising piece.
• “MCing” a Hillel "Nailed It!-style" cooking program where students hilariously attempt to bake cakes in the shape of places they went on their recent Birthright trip.
• Creatively engaging students in content that builds connections between our students and Israel as well as worldwide Jewish practices, people, and communities.

What You’ve Accomplished

• 1-3 years experience
• Bachelor’s degree required

• Proven success:
• Developing, implementing and evaluating programs.
• Building pluralistic Jewish communities and creating a welcoming, vibrant, and deeply enriching Jewish environment.

• Managing multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining quality across all areas

What You’ll Bring to the Job 

• A passion for working with emerging adults and investing in their growth as Jewish leaders.

• Ownership of your unique Jewish knowledge and experiences and ability to inspire others to be on a Jewish journey.
