UF Hillel’s Student Leadership Engine
Hillel at the University of Florida is excited to be launching it’s very own leadership board for this upcoming academic year.
Manoa, which means engine in Hebrew, strives to put students in the driver seat to craft and carry forward the vision and agenda for UF Hillel working in tandem with our Program Staff while building partnerships with other [Jewish] clubs on campus.
Manoa is comprised of 6 team captains on the following themes: Shabbat and Holiday, Social, Tzedek, Israel, Learning Initiatives, and Arts. Each Team Captain is responsible for recruiting at least 5 students to serve on their team; so if you’re interested in getting involved please reach out to one of the Team Captains.
