Jewish community doesn't end at graduation. But for a lot of people, that's exactly when it gets hard to find.
Right now you've got Hillel, Chabad, your chapter, your people. Then you graduate, move somewhere new, and all of it disappears overnight. The community is still out there. It's just scattered across Instagram, group chats, twelve newsletters, and websites nobody checks.
StarLove is building the place it all comes together. It was built after October 7, out of a belief that Jewish life deserves somewhere it can be celebrated, not defended. We're part of UpStart's UpLift '26 cohort.
We're looking for our first Founding Community Fellows. This role isn't for everyone, and that's intentional: it's for people who'd rather build something than watch it happen.
Help more people discover StarLove and, more importantly, figure out what makes them stay. Signing up is easy. Coming back every week is the real work.
Welcome new members, start conversations, make sure people find each other. A community is only alive if someone makes it alive, and that would be you.
Synagogues, Chabad houses, Moishe Houses, young-adult groups. They host incredible things every week, and too many people never hear about them. You'd work with rabbis, Hillel professionals, and organizers to help more people find what's already happening.
Post from your own voice, to the people who already trust you. A Shabbat dinner worth showing, a teaching worth passing on, an event your friends should know about. The most powerful version of this isn't our account. It's yours.
What's confusing, what's broken, what your friends said when they tried it.
Five to eight hours, spread however you want. A real week might be:
A rabbi, a Hillel professional, someone running a Jewish organization, a creator you admire. You'd build your own network across the Jewish world, not just ours.
Show them a feature, watch them use it, and tell us what they actually said, the honest reactions, good and bad.
A Shabbat dinner, a Chabad event, whatever's happening. Meet people. That's the job.
When someone new joins, be the person who says hi. It's the difference between an app and a community.
Find a bug, flag a confusing screen, tell us what's annoying. Every week.
Most internships hand you a small piece of something that already exists. This is the opposite. Almost nothing exists yet, and you'd help decide what it becomes.
You'd work directly with the founder. Not a manager, not a team. The person who built it.
Real ownership, real stakes, and something you can point to for years. It also means the occasional messy week. We think that's the good part.
By the end of the semester, you'll have helped shape a real product, built relationships across the Jewish world, and made it easier for people to find Jewish life.
Remote means remote. You'd work with the Jewish community where you are, and with ours in New York.
Send a short note about what you're part of, why Jewish community matters to you, and a time you got people to show up to something. Students and recent grads both welcome. A résumé is fine but honestly optional.
