Internship Program: The Hillels of Illinois Harriet and Maurice Lewis Family Summer Intern Program (LSIP) is an eight-week paid work/study internship program hosted by agencies and/or departments of the Jewish United Fund/Jewish Federation of Chicago, as well as for-profit businesses. This prestigious program has evolved to meet the professional and communal needs of students today by enabling them to earn on the job experience while growing their job professional development and leadership skills.
The program is a project of The Hillels of Illinois and is funded by a generous gift from the Harriet and Maurice Lewis Family to the Continuum program of the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago. The Lewis Summer Intern program (LSIP) was established in 1987 by Harriet Gerber Lewis z"l, a Chicago-area philanthropist and General Chairman of the 1988 JUF Campaign.
