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.
