Hillel International is the largest Jewish campus organization in the world, serving Jewish students at more than 550 colleges and universities. Hillel inspires students to make a commitment to Jewish life, learning and Israel.
Hillel welcomes students of all backgrounds and fosters an enduring commitment to Jewish life, learning and Israel. As the largest Jewish student organization in the world, Hillel builds connections with emerging adults at more than 550 colleges and universities, and inspires them to direct their own path. During their formative college years, students are challenged to explore, experience and create vibrant Jewish lives.
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.”
Hillel engages with and inspires the leadership of more Jewish college students than all other endeavors combined. We know that 90% of Jews in the United States go to college, and with a rich and diverse Hillel network, we are proud to be serving them at more than 550 colleges and universities.
Hillel’s expansive global infrastructure ensures that, each year, we reach hundreds of thousands of Jewish students. From Texas to Tel Aviv, Toronto to Tbilisi, Hillel is the address for Jewish student life.
There are more than 55 Hillels outside of the United States, in Argentina, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Brazil, Canada, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Moldova, Paraguay, Poland, Russia, Ukraine, Uruguay and Uzbekistan. Around the world, Hillel customizes its work to the unique elements of Jewish students, communities and universities.
