Originally created in 2002, the MZ-Grinspoon Internship is an outstanding opportunity for student leaders to have a profound impact on their campus communities. The Interns develop and implement a creative, ongoing, strategic, collaborative and impactful long-term initiative designed to change campus Israel culture tangibly. In the last ten years, over 383 students on 99 diverse campuses have served as MZ-Grinspoon Interns. With the skills they gain during the Internship, Interns are attractive candidates for graduate schools and professional positions. Past Interns have gone on to become successful in a variety of arenas including law, business, government, the non-profit world, the Jewish community and the pro-Israel community. On campus, the MZ-Grinspoon Interns are a central force in promoting a positive Israel agenda, building relationships with campus decision-makers, changing the campus climate with regards to Israel and empowering their peers to become strong Israel activists.

Thanks to the continued generosity of MZ Foundation and the Harold Grinspoon Foundation during the 2011-2012 academic year, the Israel on Campus Coalition has selected 31 Interns from 30 campuses across North America to host MZ-Grinspoon Interns.
