Opportunities: Insight: The Schusterman Fellowship for Jewish Community

Now that 2008 is in full swing, we are eager to receive inquiries and applications from prospective candidates for INSIGHT: The Schusterman Fellowship for Jewish Community. INSIGHT was developed to encourage recent college graduates to explore the world of Jewish non-profit work in the hopes that we will identify and retain talented, young leaders who will help the Jewish non-profit sector grow and thrive.

We are now seeking applications from college seniors and recent graduates who are motivated, curious and inspired to explore the Jewish communal world through working at some of the most exciting organizations in the community. During the two-year program, fellows will be placed in three consecutive six-month placements at Jewish organizations based in New York City and Washington, DC. Additionally, there will be several professional development retreats, an INSIGHT Israel trip, a week-long service project, and a national gathering with fellows and host organizations at the conclusion of the two years. Throughout the fellowship, monthly seminars will take place to discuss the themes and challenges that arise on the job, enhance skills training, and develop networking plans.

Do you know a prospective INSIGHT fellow? If so, we'd be delighted for you to pass along the following link so they can have the opportunity to experience what we know will be an incredible and inspiring adventure. The ideal candidate is ambitious, self-aware, bright, and curious to explore the Jewish non-profit world and learn from the sector's leaders and experts.

The deadline for applications is quickly approaching. APPLICATIONS CLOSE ON FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 2008. Online applications are available at: http://www.leadingup.org/web/guest/insight. If you have questions regarding the fellowship, please contact Ann Raskin, Insight Program Director at: ann@leadingup.org.
