Justice & Education Internship

The Justice and Education is a new partnership between BOSS (Building Opportunities for Self Sufficiency) and Berkeley Hillel. This internship will allow Berkeley students to mentor and tutor youth living in temporary housing provided by BOSS. The internship consists of two components, weekly tutoring and mentorship at the Children’s Learning Center in West Berkeley (Tuesdays from 5-7) and 3 seminars (date/time to be determined) throughout the semester covering issues of housing insecurity and education inequality, and how they intersect with Jewish values around justice. This will be a deeply immersive experience for students interested in having a serious impact on and engaging in deep learning around the issues facing the Berkeley community we call home.
