Designed to educate and empower students to combat anti-Jewish hatred on campus.

Allied Voices for Israel (AVI) unites students of all backgrounds against anti-Jewish hatred. AVI offers a multi-faceted approach to Israel advocacy and education by empowering a new and diverse cohort of Israel advocates at high school and university campuses across Canada.

 

Through allyship programs to Israel, educational workshops, media fellowships, and other intensive programs, AVI is inspiring a new generation of students to change the narrative around Israel. By embracing our peers, we are establishing a movement of students who work together to achieve strength in numbers and create a more just society.

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.​
