What jInternship does

jInternship (also operating as Birthright Israel Onward jInternship) is a Jerusalem-headquartered nonprofit organization founded in 2010 that connects Jewish university students and recent graduates with professional internship placements at Israeli companies and organizations. The core service operates as a two-sided placement marketplace: students from the USA, Canada, Europe, Australia, Brazil, and Latin America apply through the website or via university partners (Rutgers RJX, Michigan, California JAM, Arizona JAC, AEPi) and are matched to internships at over 1,100 host companies across medical, engineering, tech, business, finance, politics, and law sectors. Notable host partners include Mobileye, Deloitte, KPMG, Hadassah Medical Organization, the Jerusalem Post, Hebrew University, the Israel Ministry of Defense, and Skyline Robotics.

The product surface spans six core internship categories and approximately 20 specialized program tracks, including 2-month, 4-month, and 5-month formats, as well as niche offerings such as the Medical Gap Year (8-month), Medical Simulations, Haifa Medical Program, and Yalla Summer Fellowship. Programs are differentiated by bundling professional internships with Jewish learning components delivered through partner institutions (Aish, Ohr Somayach, MEOR, Academy of Life Training) and by tailoring offerings to specific demographics (men, women, pre-medical students, Southern Hemisphere participants). Pricing follows a unit-fee model ranging from $399 for the Yalla Summer Fellowship to $5,900 for the Medical Gap Year, with scholarships averaging $4,000 per participant and MASA coordinating longer 5-month programs.

Revenue is generated entirely through program fees paid by participating students, with local subsidies from regional foundations for Southern Hemisphere cohorts. The organization employs 11-50 staff and operates with minimal disclosed technology infrastructure (no app, no public API), relying on website-based application, direct email coordination, and Instagram as its primary digital channels. Distribution depends on referrals from Jewish educational institutions, Hillel chapters, fraternity networks (AEPi), and word-of-mouth through an established alumni base of thousands of past participants.
