Jewish Resources on Campus
We're offering unparalleled access to a wealth of resources about Jewish life in college. Included is a detailed map of every college in North America which offers kosher food, broken down by range and availability of food, and the hechsher. There's also a detailed map and ranking of the top 130 colleges for religious Jews - which includes factors such as size of Jewish population, availability of religious and communal leadership, presence of religious classes and prayer, and Jewish community infrastructure. The maps contain relevant links, as well as all the Jewish resources and demographic information for those colleges. Go to this map for all the information and access!
College Prep in High School -
for Students, by Students
We offer a full-service educational program to educate and prepare Jewish high school students how to successfully and meaningfully incorporate their yeshiva education into their future college lives. This includes overviews of challenges students will face in college, as well as strategies and solutions for dealing with an array of issues that may arise. One hallmark of the program is that it's run by current college students - who are most relatable and relevant to the issues at hand.

Guide to Making Jewishly-Educated Decisions When Choosing Colleges
Besides for what resources exists, it takes a lot more to determine whether a college's Jewish communiy and resource are approporiate for you. Let us guide you (or your student/child) along that process - with a set of resources and hands-on team with extensive experience with students from all backgrounds. We can offer our training remotely, or can arrange with a school to present to a junior/senior class (perhaps in conjuntion with our college prep program)
