Nehirim is now seeking two student interns to support our important, vital, and innovative work. Interns will work remotely -- we're a small, grass-roots organization with a volunteer faculty and dedicated staff. Work will include:

Support, planning, and logistics for Nehirim's 2007 retreat, to be held May 18-20 (interns will come for free)

Networking, particularly in the student community

Helping with marketing and public relations: letting people know about Nehirim, getting the word out about what we do, etc.

Development of new initiatives for the organization

Support for Nehirim's staff in a variety of ways, ranging from research to travel assistance, program support to administrative help

A Nehirim internship is a fantastic opportunity to work hands-on in a grassroots queer Jewish environment. We are making a difference; our retreats are transformative, and our speaking engagements around the country have had a measurable impact on the struggle for GLBT equality in the religious world. And because we are small, you will learn a lot, interact with other people, and get more than an ace resume item and experience with one of the most connected young Jews in the country -- you'll make a difference yourself.

Applicants must have strong verbal skills, self-motivation, and a commitment to Jewish spiritual life, GLBT community, and the work of Nehirim. You must make a commitment to at least 16 hours per month (four hours/week), for at least three months. College credit is available if your university offers it for internships -- requirements will depend on your college.
