Machane Olami Initiative

Working at an American Jewish summer camp is so much more than a job – it’s an experience like no other. With the Machane Olami: Global Jewish Camp Fellowship, you’ll spend your summer creating lifelong friendships, learning about North American Jewish life, and sharing your story and culture with campers and staff from around the world!

Why work at Jewish Camp?
  • Klal Yisrael: Creating Global Jewish Connections – build lifelong network of Jewish young adults from North America, Israel, and all around the world, while being an ambassador from your home country. Develop new perspectives and bring new ideas back to your own Jewish community.
  • Professional Development – add international work experience to your CV and gain practical professional leadership skills to help you in your future career. Perfect your English with native speakers – peers and professionals.
  • Make a Difference – be a role model and create the summer of a lifetime for hundreds of Jewish children
