The Shamayim Campus Fellowship is a program that gives Jewish vegetarian and vegan college students the tools and support they need to educate their communities about animal advocacy.

Through the Shamayim Campus Fellowship, students learn valuable leadership skills, educate themselves and their peers about animal advocacy, and create a lasting change in their communities. A campus fellow will have the opportunity to work directly with the Shamayim team. We will help them hone their activism and leadership skills, develop a plan on how to make animal advocacy a talking point on their campus, and supply them with the tools and funding necessary for tabling, serving vegan food, and other outreach activities.

1. Jewish Vegan or Vegetarian college students
2. Students who want to create change
3. Students who want leadership experience
4. Students who want to meet other students with similar values

Responsibilities include:

1. Attending monthly learning calls
2. Hosting and planning events and programs on their campus
3. Submitting summaries and surveys throughout the program

At the end of the program, and upon completion of the tasks listed above, fellows can earn a modest stipend.
