The Hillel Student Leadership Team is for you! We have a position and opportunity for everyone.

This year, we combined all of our leadership opportunities into one place to make things easier. We have many different tracks you can choose from. If one of those still doesn’t spark your interest, we will discover the right idea with you. Each track works with a Hillel staff member and has 1-2 students that serve as track chairs.
