  • OC Hillel Engagement Coordinator

    Hillel International 3.8company rating

    Irvine, CA job

    Are you an energetic, creative and passionate about the Jewish future person? Join us to make your mark on Jewish student life by joining OC Hillel as the Engagement Coordinator! You will be part of Orange County Hillel's umbrella. OC Hillel is a multi-campus Hillel, Chapman University, University of California, Irvine, Cal State Fullerton, and local community colleges. You will build one on one relationships with students, putting on amazing events around campus, and help inspire students to make a commitment to Jewish life. You will use your stellar communication and active listening skills to develop relationships with students less engaged and help them map a path to create a Jewish story that's relevant and exciting for them. The position will be excellent in this role if you can't leave the coffee line without chatting with the person next to you and have an infectious curiosity about the world. In this role, you'll use data to map areas of campus that are less connected and create strategies to develop new markets. You'll identify students that have common interests using your ability to network and build coalitions. You will meet students, university partners, and other stakeholders in the community as well as on-campus, where you're likely to run into a few alumni visiting showing their infectious school pride. Our students are awesome (we're genuinely wowed by them daily). OC Hillel engages with over 800 Jewish students but could do more to create vibrant Jewish life on campus. In addition to being part of a top-tier university setting, you'll join a stellar team of energized staff who focus on excellence, collaboration, professional development, and a thirst for knowledge. As an Engagement Coordinator, you'll wake up each day (or at least most) and be genuinely excited and enthusiastic about creating an inviting place that inspires students to explore, experience, and create vibrant Jewish lives. This is so much more than your average 9-to-5. What You'll Do Meet with students from different cohorts and demographics on campus to engage them, identify their interests, and connect to opportunities. Meet with students to help connect them with leadership roles in Hillel. Map out a plan to strategically build one on one relationships with 180 students currently not engaged in Jewish life. Collaborate with students and colleagues to develop and manage Birthright and Fact Finders recruitment, staffing, and follow-through.
