Kayla Kapen is currently the Advancement Associate at Hillel Day School of Metro Detroit, where she assists in fundraising, social media & event planning. She grew up in West Bloomfield, MI and graduated in May 2019 from Ohio University (OU) with a dual Bachelor of Arts degree in Music and Psychology. Prior to JCLP, she worked at OU Hillel as an engagement intern, planning and leading student activities that promoted Jewish life on campus. Throughout her time in JCLP, she completed her field work at The Well and Jewish Federation of Greater Ann Arbor. A highlight from her time in JCLP was visiting New Orleans and learning about the impact that the Jewish organizations there made after Hurricane Katrina. She is thankful for the meaningful and challenging discussions that she engaged in during her time in JCLP. Before joining Hillel Day School, she worked at the Michigan Region ORT America office.
