What is SIP
The Cleveland Hillel Foundation Summer Internship Program (SIP CLE) is a unique paid summer internship program open to Jewish college students who will be going into their junior or senior year in the fall.
If selected and hired, interns spend ten weeks working for local Cleveland employers and participate in innovative programming including exclusive excursions around Cleveland, professional development seminars, and opportunities to interact with civic and community leaders.
