For nearly a century, Hillel’s network of dedicated student leaders, professionals and volunteers have encouraged generations of young adults to celebrate Jewish learning and living, pursue social justice (tikkun olam and tzedek) and connect to their peers and the global Jewish people. By participating in life-changing trips and campus initiatives, students learn to make a meaningful impact on the future of the Jewish people and the world while they grow intellectually, socially, and spiritually. At the heart of the Hillel network is the Charles and Lynn Schusterman International Center, supporting local Hillels to ensure that we achieve our mission “to enrich the lives of Jewish students so they may enrich the Jewish people and the world.”

Facing History and Ourselves National Foundation is an independent non-profit organization located in Boston, Massachusetts, founded in 1976. Its mission is to engage students from diverse backgrounds in critical examinations of racism, prejudice, and antisemitism. By fostering discussions around these issues, the foundation aims to cultivate a more informed and compassionate citizenry capable of understanding and confronting hatred and bigotry. Through educational programs and professional development initiatives, it promotes a deeper understanding of historical events and social justice, empowering students to take action against intolerance in their communities and beyond.
Sefaria primarily focuses on developing a repository of Jewish texts and their interconnections in Hebrew and translation.
