Help Us by Giving Today
SLO Hillel is proud to provide a warm & welcoming environment for students of all different religious and Jewishly observant backgrounds. Every student, no matter their practice or faith, is a part of the community from the moment they set foot on campus or walk through our doors. We offer leadership development, free Israel travel, social activities, connections with other cultural or faith groups, a chance to join hundreds of other students throughout Jewish holidays, and more.
There are no membership requirements or dues to be a part of the SLO Hillel family. Your support of our 501(c)(3) enables us to provide essential programs that engage students and allows us to serve as an advocate for the Jewish student communities we serve. We invite you to call on us anytime we can be of help to you or your student.
100% of SLO Hillel’s annual budget relies on private contributions from parents, alumni, foundations, and friends.
Thank you for your consideration! Please know none of this would be possible without you!
