Intern or get involved with Jewish Heart for Africa

Jewish Heart for Africa brings sustainable Israeli technologies to rural African villages. Using solar and agricultural technologies from Israel, we have completed 33 projects since our founding in 2008, bringing light, clean water, improved education and proper medical care to over 150,000 Africa people. To learn more about our work, please visit http://www.jhafrica.org/.

One way to get involved:

This year, we are launching a Student Task Force. Our volunteer community consists of hundreds of people worldwide, coming together in support of our work. An increasing number of these volunteers are students that want to bring Jewish Heart for Africa to their campuses.

The Jewish Heart for Africa Campus Coordinator will work from our NY office and serve as a liaison to students around the globe, brainstorming on events, reaching out to new campuses and providing students with the materials and support they need to be meaningful advocates for our work. For the right candidate hours will be flexible, with the opportunity to work from home as well.

Qualifications:
:: Experience in campus advocacy and planning events
:: Strong communication skills; ability to work well individually and/or in a team
:: Must be creative, with a strong attention to detail

Benefits:
:: Help to build a new, innovative non-profit that impacts thousands of African lives each year.

Another way to get involved:

We are looking for a social media and marketing intern--the twintern, for short. Our constituents are young--the average age of our major donors is only 32. Social media is one of our most important communications tools, and we need help building a stronger presence online.

We are seeking a fun, creative intern who will be responsible for tweeting, posting and growing our online community.

Qualifications:
:: Expertise in various social media and marketing tools including facebook and twitter
:: Proficiency in both Mac and PC
:: Strong communications and interpersonal skills; ability to work well individually and/or in a team
:: Must be creative, with a strong attention to detail

Campus Representative Opportunity

I'd like to introduce you to WILL WORK FOR FOOD (WWFF). WWFF was
started out of University of Michigan Hillel and aims to stimulate
local community service while raising relief funds to fight child
malnutrition abroad. A true example of tikkun olam.

WILL WORK FOR FOOD's innovative model has already raised over $40,000
and stimulated over 1200 commitments to community service. The
initiative has also been recognized by the Clinton Global Initiative
for Universities and chosen as an International Semi-Finalist in the
Dell Social Innovation Competition. Check out www.willworkforfood.org
for more information.

WILL WORK FOR FOOD had a presence at about 15 schools last year and is
currently working to expand to additional campuses. We are essentially
looking for bright and driven students to start chapters (or help
expand current chapters) and figured Hillels would be a great place to
start looking for such students. A description of the Chapter Rep
position can be found at http://www.willworkforfood.org/become-rep
