Senior Program Manager, Foundation for Jewish Camp
Jill Goldstein Smith (she/her) joined Foundation for Jewish Camp in 2015, and as a Senior Program Manager she focuses on professional development, leadership programming, Jewish education, and MESSH (mental, emotional, social, and spiritual health), and other projects. A south Florida native, she moved north to attend New York University followed by seven years in television news production, as a director and operations supervisor at NY1 News. The odd shift hours allowed her nights to be a part-time youth group advisor, continuing her passion for Jewish teen engagement. Invested in designing thoughtful, welcoming and meaningful experiences, Jill is finishing her Master’s degree in Jewish Educational Leadership at JTS’s Davidson School. Outside of work and school, she served two years as Co-Chair of JPro New York, which aims to support early and mid-career professionals at NYC-area Jewish non-profits. Jill is a facilitator with Resetting the Table and a proud part of the Honeymoon Israel alumni community. Her partner and toddler love living in Queens where they pray and play with the Malkhut community and Tkiya Music. Jill is passionate about values-guided policies, network weaving, systems convening, relationships being at the core of Jewish life, teaching through film, public parks, and chocolate.
