UArizona Hillel Diversity Statement

The University of Arizona Hillel Foundation seeks diversity in its staff. That means we invite applications from different denominations and religious (or non-religious) and cultural backgrounds. We are searching for candidates of color, candidates in the LGBTQ+ community, and candidates who identify personally at any part of the incredibly rich gender spectrum.

Come Grow With Us!

We are a small-but-mighty staff serving a Jewish student body of between 3,500 and 5,000. We currently offer Shabbat services most Friday evenings, and aim to add a fourth Friday a month and one Shabbat (Saturday) morning per month. We also offer High Holy Day services and programming, and programming for most other Jewish holidays. We additionally have a rich offering of programs, affinity groups, student leadership opportunities, Jewish education, Israel education, Israel travel, and much more. Although we encourage student-driven programming and religious services, staff curates wherever necessary, especially with the current COVID-fatigued student body. We liaise heavily with other student and religious groups on campus, including other religious institutions, the LGBTQ+ center, the Black Student Union, Greek councils, and more. We share the Jewish campus eco-system with a Chabad and an Orthodox kiruv organization called Olami, although Hillel is the only Jewish organization in official relationship with the administration. We occupy a beautiful, three-story building in the heart of campus, although we also spend a lot of time outside of our building, literally meeting students where they are. The Tucson Jewish community is robust, with as many as 20,000 Jews in a greater metro area of about one million. We have bold visions for growth at UArizona Hillel. Currently we reach about 700 students annually, and by the end of next year we plan for it to be 1000. By five years from now, we plan to triple our revenue, double our staff, and be reaching five times as many students.
