THE FJC FELLOWSHIP: GET A REAL JOB — AT CAMP!
The FJC Fellowship connects talented camp staff to careers in Jewish camp, and beyond. Through the FJC Fellowship, you will gain invaluable professional skills and work experience while working at Foundation for Jewish Camp, and still get to spend your summers at your Jewish camp!
The FJC Fellowship is a paid, 21-month fellowship for recent college graduates seeking professional opportunities in the field of Jewish Camp. Fellows spend the summer working in a leadership role at a Jewish overnight or day camp. Fellows spend the academic year working full-time at Foundation for Jewish Camp’s headquarters office in New York. Each Fellow will work on different projects at FJC, providing valuable support for field-wide initiatives, large-scale FJC programs, and organizational operations. Fellows will be supervised by senior FJC professionals, attend key meetings and events, and be exposed to the inner workings of a national non-profit organization. Individually and as a cohort, Fellows will have access to professional development opportunities and mentorship from Jewish camp professionals.
