AVI High School
Ambassador Program

Inspiring the next generation of Israel advocates.

The AVI High School Ambassador Program is a detailed educational program that offers students the resources, skills, and guidance necessary to have the confidence to educate their peers about antisemitism and serve as Ambassadors for the Jewish People.

Students learn about the best practices for standing up for Israel on campus, why Jews are indigenous to Israel, Israeli history, how to combat antisemitism and all forms of prejudice on social media, and how to build meaningful alliances.

What makes the AVI High School Ambassador Program unique?

Ambassadors gain experience using their advocacy skills in a wide variety of ways, such as social media campaigns, writing and editing op-eds, creating events, and more.

Ambassadors participate in webinars where they discuss a range of topics including allyship, the BDS movement, Israeli history and politics, coalition-building, social media, campus life, media biases, etc.

The ambassadorship itself is flexible and self-directed, allowing students to complete their requirements in accordance with their personal schedules and with the support of the High School Advisor.

Students who have successfully completed the AVI High School Ambassador Program receive a discount on the Common Ground Ambassador Program.

"This program is a great way to understand how to fight against antisemitism."

Mayan Zvi, Ulpanat Orot, Toronto

"The program gives Jewish students the confidence to feel proud in their identity. It equips students with tools to fight for and combat the online and in person antisemitism that they may encounter. It gives them the power to feel confident that they can deal with it successfully. My favourite part is the rewarding feeling I get after watching my work play out. My proudest moment was writing an op-ed, and getting to introduce speakers on our webinars."

Chaya Malul, King David High School

"Students are given the opportunity to learn more about their culture, and the history of Israel, as well as learn how to fight against antisemitism and anti-Zionism."

Rebekah Petchatnikov, Springbank Community High School, Calgary

"The Ambassador Program is an incredibly well-structured learning opportunity for people to become better activists and learn about the Jewish people."

Leah Freedhoff, Sir Robert Borden High School, Ottawa

"This fun and engaging ambassadorship gives you awesome tips and skills to combat anti-Zionism in the real world. My favourite part of the program was the opportunity to meet and listen to wonderful guest speakers that I normally would not have the chance to listen to."

Miriam Tsipilevich, Westmount Collegiate Institute
