Student Staff Program provides the opportunity to learn about the multifaith work of the University Chaplaincy and to assist our chaplains and staff in fulfilling essential functions that support our programs and services. Our Student Staff enliven everything that the University Chaplaincy does, and we are grateful to have them on our team. Responsibilities include hospitality and communications, data and record management, web and publications work, and special event staffing. Training and mentoring will be provided through monthly staff meetings and ongoing coaching to build knowledge and skills.
Current Tufts students may apply and the University Chaplaincy strives to create a diverse staff team. Please note: we are not accepting applications for the Spring 2021 semester. If you would like to know more about the program, or be notified when applications open again, please email program manager Nora Bond.

Interest in the Student Worker Program: From the moment I stepped foot on campus, the University Chaplaincy cultivated a warm and inclusive environment through the CAFE pre-orientation program and the various events held throughout the year. I chose to immerse myself in the Chaplaincy because I love being part of the vibrant and welcoming multifaith community. I enjoy supporting the various inclusive interfaith spaces throughout campus.
