On June 4th, we had the opportunity to welcome four individuals into the Areyvut office for our full time Summer Internship Program.  After interviewing over 30 potential candidates, we selected interns from different parts of the country and backgrounds in the belief that diversity in our office is what truly makes this internship exceptional.  The Summer Internship Program is one of our favorite aspects of Areyvut and we are excited to have such a great group of interns to work with.  The interns are all passionate about the mission of Areyvut and will be working on all aspects of Areyvut including Bnai Mitzvah programming, the “A Kindness a Day” calendar, “Make a Difference” Day, fundraising and the website.

Introducing the Areyvut Interns:
