BB360 Leadership Internships

A Transformational Opportunity

The BB360 Leadership Internship is an academic-year paid internship with a commitment to work at BB Overnight Camp or BB Day Camp for the summer season, following the academic year. The Leadership Internship is for college students seeking skills to launch a career in the Jewish Camp or non-profit sector. Interns will spend the summer working at BB Overnight or BB Day Camp, and the academic year working a minimum of 5 hours per week per university quarter, both virtually and in person, alongside BB360 professionals.

Interns will contribute to BB360 initiatives, programs, events, and day-to-day operations. Under the guidance of senior BB360 professionals, they will attend key meetings and events while gaining a deeper understanding of how a nonprofit organization operates. Interns will build skills in customer service, communications, camper care, leadership and supervision, human resources, organizational operations, program development, fundraising, and risk management. The program will teach and reinforce core management and leadership principles while giving interns opportunities to apply what they learn in practice.

Each Intern will have a portfolio of work based on gaining knowledge in the following focus areas:

PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT: Structured process of designing, creating, implementing, and evaluation of programs, with age-specific and developmentally appropriate goals.

CAMPER CARE: Engaging with camper families to create accommodation plans, with the goal of ensuring every camper has meaningful experiences at Camp.

OPERATIONS: Day-to-day administrative, financial, and logistical activities required to keep BB360 and our Camps running to deliver community impact.

MARKETING & COMMUNICATIONS: Outreach, branding, storytelling, social media, and writing to build awareness, inspire action, and secure camper registration and seasonal staff employment.

RECRUITMENT: Combining mission-driven storytelling with targeted outreach to attract new campers, seasonal staff, and donors.

FUNDRAISING: Donor stewardship activities to lead to securing vital funds for our mission.

SUPERVISION & LEADERSHIP: Learning to guide, support, and manage staff and volunteers to advance our mission.

Ideal applicants are college students who have a passion for Jewish camp, and desire to pursue a Jewish camp career, or a career in a Jewish or broader youth-serving nonprofit. Applicants will spend the summer at BB Overnight or BB Day Camp, following the academic year internship.
