Through Hillel International’s Leadership Passport program, more than 200 student leaders have connected with national Jewish organizations, explored careers in Jewish communal life, and built leadership skills beyond their campuses.

Their work this fall will focus on supporting Jewish students by offering opportunities for them to participate in meaningful Jewish experiences on campus.
