About The Position

Make your mark on Jewish student life by joining Oregon Hillel as the University of Oregon Engagement Associate. You will build one on one relationships with students at UO, put on awesome events around campus, and help inspire students to make a commitment to Jewish life.

At the heart of this role is the mission to build meaningful relationships that draw Jewish students into community and help them see Jewish life as relevant, joyful, and essential to their college experience.
