MASA Israel Journey: The Gateway to Long Term Programs in Israel MASA Campus Representative Internship The MASA Campus Representative Internship empowers long-term Israel program alumni to recruit participants for MASA programs (5 months to 1 year in duration) on major North American university campuses. In 2007-2008, there were 28 MASA Campus Representatives on campuses throughout North America. In 2008-2009, the MASA Campus Representatives Internship program will place Representatives on up to 50 North American university campuses. Each MASA Campus Representative will be responsible for recruiting a pre-determined number of students for long-term Israel programs including study-abroad and post-college opportunities. MASA Campus Representatives are supervised locally by a Hillel staff member (Israel Fellow, Israel Program Coordinator, etc.) and by a staff member in the MASA New York headquarters. MASA Campus Representatives will be paid $1,000 stipend per semester and will receive a $1,000 programming budget per semester. There will also be a mandatory MASA Campus Representative Internship training in August 2008 prior to the start of the academic year. Additionally, there will be two Shabbatonim for all MASA Campus Representatives, one per semester. MASA Campus Representatives must be alumni of MASA Long-Term programs in Israel. MASA Campus Representatives must be able to demonstrate their desire and ability to recruit students to participate on Israel programs and to organize events on campus related to Israel programs. MASA will only accept applications from students entering their sophomore, junior, or senior years. MASA Campus Representative Internship Objectives
MASA Campus Representative Internship Responsibilities and Expectations Recruitment Each MASA Campus Representative will be expected to recruit a specific number of students on his/her own campus to participate in a MASA program. The specific number of students will be decided upon in the first few weeks of the fall semester. Programming Each Campus Representative will receive $1,000 budget to be used towards programming per semester. Programming is intended to raise interest in long-term Israel programs and generate opportunities for recruitment. The programs or events created and/or co-sponsored each semester by MASA Campus Representatives may be generated and run in conjunction with other campus organizations, but with the understood goal of providing promotional and recruitment opportunities for MASA programs. Internship Training All MASA Campus Representatives are required to participate in a weekend training seminar at the end of August, prior to the beginning of the 2008-2009 academic year. Internship Conference Call Each MASA Campus Representative is expected to participate in a monthly conference call. The purpose of these calls is to provide the opportunity to brief the New York office and fellow Campus Representatives on campus activities, and to share best practices. Internship Evaluation Each Campus Representative will take part in an evaluation at the end of the first semester to discuss recruitment progress and programming efficacy. The evaluation is a means to re-examine strategy, assess strengths and weaknesses of programming and recruitment methods from the first semester, and create a school-specific plan for the second semester. This process will be repeated at the end of the second semester. Internship Shabbatonim Each Campus Representative are required to attend two MASA Shabbatonim. These Shabbatonim will be an opportunity for the group to get to know one another better, and share experiences and ideas. Lectures and workshops on topics relevant to recruitment and program promotion will be provided. Internship Stipend Each Campus Representative will be paid a $1,000 stipend per semester.
