How to Plan an Amazing Program from A-Z

UC San Diego Hillel’s Triton Jewish Leaders gathered for a workshop to learn techniques and best practices for planning an awesome program.

Lesson 1: learn how to “yes, and” – which happens to be the first rule for both improv and brainstorming! We practiced “yes, and” by coming up with ideas for a hypothetical event. After our brainstorming session we learned how to create a POP (which stands for Purpose, Outcomes, Process), or a structured outline detailing the goals and procedure for planning a successful program.

Not only did students learn techniques for planning events, but it also inspired a group of students to come together to plan a Purim party with Hillel!

Yet Hillel of San Diego is a constant—deeply committed to supporting Jewish life for our collective future. And so, I invite us to think about a new set of four questions for our Hillel Passover this year.

Welcome to 2024! As we launch into the second half of our year, we continue to be hyper-focused on supporting students. This is done through a multitude of strategies.

First and foremost, we focus on imbuing pride in being Jewish. That looks like joyful shabbats, social bonfires, opportunities for lots of laughing…and lots of good food. Programs of joy are possible BECAUSE you support Hillel. Your generosity funds their joy.
