JCADA’s College Ambassadors Program engages Jewish undergraduate and graduate students in the important work of preventing intimate partner violence (IPV), navigating
relationships, and building healthier and safer campus communities. Made up of Jewish students (all observance levels are welcome) enrolled at colleges or universities in D.C, Virginia, and Maryland, the College Ambassador Program is a year-long initiative beginning in the fall and ending in the spring. This program is designed to be both
meaningful and manageable. Students can expect weekly hour-long virtual sessions consisting of collaborative learning and discussions on IPV along with activities designed to put prevention skills into practice. The College Ambassadors Program culminates in students delivering an interactive final project or activity with their peers or in their communities. Students that complete the program will receive a certificate from JCADA, a great addition to their professional portfolios!
Through education, discussion, peer connection, and an interactive final project, students will gain practical skills and knowledge they can carry into their personal life, future career, and greater community. Join us!
