AJC Campus Library: Resources for Becoming a Strong Jewish Advocate on Campus

Resources for Becoming a Strong Jewish Student Advocate

Whether in high school or on a college campus, being a new student on campus can be intimidating under the best circumstances. And being a Jewish, pro-Israel student raises additional challenges. The best way for students to stand against bigotry and stand up for Israel is to prepare themselves.

Here are some resources from American Jewish Committee (AJC) to help students in high school, college, and beyond become well-informed and effective advocates for Israel and the Jewish people. We hope you’ll share them widely!
