Welcome to SF Hillel!

At Hillel, we provide inclusive, innovative, and fun Jewish experiences and programs for college and graduate students across San Francisco, with active communities at SF State, USF, UC Law SF, UCSF, and SFCM.

We are here to help you make Jewish wisdom relevant to your everyday life, however that looks to you! Our programs give you the opportunity to learn centuries-old grounding rituals while connecting with other Jewish students from across the city.

​Connect with our professional team or check out our upcoming events to be a part of our vibrant community and make new Jewish friends on your campus. There are no membership fees, all you have to do is show up!

What We Do and How We Do It

1. Jewish Identity Exploration: Through 1:1 meetings (e.g., coffee conversations, mentorship meetings, and meaningful conversions), we meet students where they are in life and on their Jewish journey to help them build proud, authentic Jewish identities. 
2. Jewish Community Building: Through intentional programming, peer-to-peer connections, and relationship-based engagement, we have built a robust Jewish community for San Francisco students to thrive in and connect with their Jewish peers. In addition, we connect students with vibrant Jewish communities throughout the Bay Area so that their Jewish community connection continues beyond their college experience. 
3. Jewish Future Leadership Development: Through our Jewish Student Leader Fellowship (formerly known as Design Tribe), we provide Jewish students with professional development, career coaching, mentorship, and fiscal sponsorship to help them realize their programmatic dreams. 
4. Jewish Student Support: Through dozens of free meals, food pantries, financial assistance for housing and groceries, and mental health counseling, we are helping students meet their basic needs so that they can focus on their academic careers, Jewish identity, and emotional well-being.
