If you've been wanting to be more involved in your community, consider the social justice internship program through the Schusterman Center for Jewish Studies! Each semester, students from throughout the university join the program for a 10 hour a week internship at a museum or social justice organization in town and there is a two hour seminar on Wednesday evenings in with a guest each week from the social justice non profit world as well as guests who explore Jewish texts (the Hebrew Bible and later commentaries) on such social justice issues as poverty alleviation, homelessness, work ethics, food equity, etc.

The course has both an independent studies flag and an ethics flag, and competitive scholarships are available for students to apply to once they have secured their internship! Many students have gone on to get jobs at their internship organization, or complete additional internship hours after the course is already over.

Sound like a great fit? Register for LA320J in the fall, and learn how to apply for one of the internship opportunities!
