CLIP Spring 2026 Application

The Collegiate Leadership Internship Program (CLIP) is a paid semester-long internship experience in New York City. Based out of the Bronfman Center for Jewish Student Life at NYU, CLIP matches undergraduate students from any major with internships at a variety of Jewish communal nonprofit organizations throughout New York City. Semester CLIP interns work 12 hours per week at their placement site and spend Friday afternoons (11:00am-1:30pm) in social, energetic, and experiential seminars. Interns will spend Friday seminars exploring themes in professional development, leadership, community building, and Jewish identity in a cohort of 18 peers. One of these Friday seminars will take the form of a weekend-long Shabbaton retreat from Friday-Sunday outside of the city, with transportation provided by CLIP (Friday February 27 - Sunday, March 1, 2026). CLIP interns should be prepared for a total time commitment of 15 hours/week during the semester. Read more about CLIP at nyu.edu/bronfman to learn more about program details, eligibility, and internship placement process.
