Shamayim Campus Fellowship - Shamayim: Animal Advocacy

The Shamayim Campus Fellowship

The Shamayim Campus Fellowship is a program that gives Jewish vegetarian, vegan, and animal-loving 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.
