For 35+ years, the Kohn Summer Intern Program has molded the next generation of Jewish leaders through a paid internship with local Jewish nonprofits

The 8-week program provides undergraduate college students the opportunity to:

• work for a Jewish nonprofit organization
• build professional skills, such as time management, organization, business writing, workplace communication, project management, and meeting facilitation
• practice informational and mock interviewing
• be mentored by Jewish community leaders
• develop relationships with other driven Kohn interns
• participate in weekly seminars, which cover issues facing the Jewish community and social justice
• create an effective resume and gain confidence in networking
• work with collaborative communication tools: Slack, Outlook, Google Docs, Sharepoint, and others
• join the Kohn Alumni professional network

JVS will place you at amazing organizations, such as:

• Be’Chol Lashon
• Shalom Bayit
