Hillel International’s Post

When financial stress and mental health challenges nearly forced a CUNY student to drop out of college, the Hillel Hub at Baruch College College became his lifeline. With access to food assistance, counseling, and career support, he’s now on track to graduate and already has a job lined up!

Together, we're transforming CUNY Hillels into full-service community hubs — helping Jewish students, many from immigrant and Orthodox backgrounds, overcome real barriers to completing their education.
