About The Position
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a dynamic professional to help connect Jewish students with Israel, Israeli culture, Jewish traditions, and the broader Jewish community at one of the largest universities in North America. Central Florida Hillel (UCF Hillel) is seeking an IACT Coordinator for Israel Engagement — an outgoing, self-directed, and passionate team member who excels at engaging and inspiring young adults.

UCF Hillel is an open, inclusive, and welcoming Jewish community serving approximately 6,300 Jewish undergraduate students at the University of Central Florida. You will be joining a growing organization at an exciting moment of expansion and renewal. Students at UCF are in a period of exploration — encountering new ideas, forming relationships, contemplating careers, and discovering their identities. Our team meets students where they are (physically and Jewishly), helping them access the Jewish narrative, connect authentically, and build a Jewish future that feels meaningful and relevant. We are proud to partner with the IACT Campus Program, a national initiative that builds on the success of Birthright Israel by supporting and inspiring students before and after their trips.
