our mission
Our mission is to inspire American college students to see Israel as a source of pride and empower them to stand up for Israel on campus. Our role in this effort is to unite the many pro-Israel organizations that operate on campuses across the United States by coordinating strategies, providing educational resources, sharing in-depth research, and increasing collaboration. When we work together, our movement is stronger.
our vision
We envision the American college campus as a place where supporters of Israel feel confident about openly celebrating the Jewish state, where dialogue and ideas about Israel are exchanged freely, where the anti-Israel movement is marginalized, and where the entire campus community appreciates Israel’s contributions to the world. Our vision is long-term. What happens on campus today will shape the next generation of American leaders. We must all work together to create a positive atmosphere for Israel on campus today so that we can ensure a thriving U.S.-Israel relationship in the future.
