Who We Are

We invite our students to be in the driver’s seat. We empower each individual to discover what being Jewish means to them. We cultivate a Jewish family experience with all students on campus. We are a tight knit group who loves and supports one another plus friends, roommates and any other curious visitors. Our Jewish Social Club on campus contributes to the development of lifelong friendships through education, engagement, food and cultural activities.

​Our History

Our organization has over a 30 year history as a social club that encourages the cultural welfare of Jewish students and residents of Butte County, California, with its main emphasis being the students of California State University, Chico. We welcome all Butte College students and look forward to hosting events at the college campus sites.

Come visit if you are in Chico! We are located on the back patio of Celestino’s, the best pizza slice in Chico! Our weekly meetings are on Thursday from 6:30-7:30 pm. Hope to see you all there!​​​

​Mission Statement

The primary purpose of Chico Hillel/Jewish Student Union is to foster an on-campus social and cultural student organization that promotes, educates and develops Jewish literacy among a diverse student population through events, holiday celebrations and activities shaped by Jewish values and to foster a meaningful relationship with Israel. ​
