Become an AVI High School Ambassador
Our informative educational program offers Canadian high school students the resources, skills, and guidance necessary so they are equipped and confident to advocate for Israel. Students learn about Jewish indigeneity to Israel, how to identify and combat anti-Jewish hatred, and how to build bridges and meaningful coalitions with their peers.
Become a Common Ground Ambassdor
For College/University Students
AVI's flagship program for college and university students builds bridges between Jewish students and their allies to eradicate anti-Jewish hatred on campuses across Canada. Ambassadors begin their Common Ground journey on a 10-day program in Israel where they will be introduced to Israel's robust diversity and hear from Israelis, Palestinians, and many others who are fighting for peace and coexistence.
Become a Campus Media Fellow
For College/University Students
In partnership with HonestReporting Canada, our innovative and exclusive program teaches students how to change the narrative about Israel by publishing pieces in student, international, Jewish, and national media. Students learn practical writing and editing skills, take part in workshops with expert speakers, and gain the ability to put pen to paper and ensure their voices are heard.
Israel Advocacy Workshops & Educational Programs
AVI offers a myriad of Israel advocacy and allyship workshops and educational programs to high school, college, and university students across Canada. Through collaborative efforts with partner organizations such as synagogues, youth groups, public and private schools, advocacy and human rights groups, and more, AVI inspires and empowers students – Jewish and their allies – to get involved in the fight against anti-Jewish hatred.
