Description Honeymoon Israel is seeking a part-time professional for the role of

Community Coordinators are locally-focused HMI staff based in cities where HMI operates across North America. In many cases, the Community Coordinator is the only HMI-employed staff in a given community.
Community Coordinators are connectors, facilitators, conveners, and supporters in providing couples with a platform that helps them determine ways in which they want to incorporate Judaism into their lives. While the HMI experience for many couples begins with a group trip to Israel, the trip serves as a catalyst and much of the work to support participants in this journey happens when couples return home.
