Who we are.

By students, for students. Jewish on Campus empowers Jewish student leaders to combat antisemitism on college campuses.

Over the past decade, antisemitism has become a crisis on American college campuses. Jewish students confront antisemitism every day, giving us first-hand expertise on this challenge. Our voices must be heard.

Since our founding in 2020, Jewish on Campus (JOC) has served as the voice of Jewish students in America, created by Jewish students, for Jewish students. We are the first Jewish organization in America built and led by Gen Z, making a national impact by empowering the next generation of Jewish leaders to begin leading today.

What we do.

We envision a world in which young Jews aren’t intimidated into silence. And the fight against antisemitism isn’t ours alone.

JOC is an authentic Jewish civil rights organization. We are building a movement that brings Jewish students together, proactively educating our peers and serving as a voice to advocate on all levels—from local universities to Capitol Hill. Our work is breaking barriers, demanding that young Jewish leaders have a seat at the table. Antisemitism is worth fighting against—and we are leading that fight.

”Jewish on Campus stands as a model of civic engagement for the next generation of Americans, speaking up and fighting back in the face of injustice.”

— Congressman Ritchie Torres

What students are saying.

“Jewish on Campus gave me the tools to fight back and helped me file a federal civil rights complaint under Title VI against my university. Without them, our voices wouldn’t be heard.”

— Zack Mink, Cal Poly Humboldt

“Jewish on Campus helped me like no other organization could. The staff gave me the agency and resources to confront antisemitism on my campus in a way that aligned with my values and comfort level. They connected me with attorneys who filed a Title VI complaint to change the situation for Jewish students at my school completely—creating changes that lasted years after I left. Jewish on Campus empowered me through the darkest moments of my life, and their work inspired me to join them in the mission to tackle antisemitism.”

— Avi Zatz, University of Vermont

“Jewish on Campus provided me with critical support and resources when I was facing exclusion and harassment for my Israeli identity. Their work ensures that Jewish students are heard, protected, and empowered to stand up against antisemitism.”

— Ofek Preis, SUNY New Paltz

“Jewish on Campus has not only provided me with the skills necessary to be a better advocate for myself and my community, but a support system that continues to be there for me. Not only are all of these resources available to me, but they are often available before I even know I need them.”

— Abigail Fixel, Columbia University

“Jewish on Campus is allowing me to expand my advocacy toolbox and continues to fuel my passion and confidence in standing up for the greater Jewish community.”

— Chase Tyler Brodsky, Syracuse University
