Discovering passions and values that will set students up for a successful college experience.
-
Identifying strengths and weaknesses in order to become a more effective team member and leader.

Learning about different people’s experiences in the Jewish community in order to create a more inclusive environment.
In addition to training, participants will have access to:

Support and mentorship from UF Hillel staff
-
Opportunities to shape Jewish life on campus
