For over 70 years, AUJS has trained and developed Jewish student leaders across Australia and New Zealand and produced some of the most outstanding trailblazers in the Jewish and wider Australian community.

Paul Bassat founder of Seek, Mark Regev foreign media advisor to the Israeli Prime Minister, Michael Danby previous MP Federal Member for Melbourne Ports and many of the leaders of the Jewish communal organisations, including Sam Tatarka Past President of Zionism Victoria and Jennifer Huppert President of the JCCV, spent significant time in the playground of AUJS.

As AUJS is led by students for students, the student leaders in AUJS develop fundamental skills associated with running coordinated organisation-wide campaigns, conferences, social and political initiatives, all while engaging with complex issues revolving around their Jewish identity.

Your contribution will go directly towards the running and improvement of our major leadership initiatives, including our Leadership Development Program (LDP), Political Training Seminar (PTS), and AUJS Summer and Winter Conferences. Your contribution will also contribute to students from across Australia and New Zealand being able to meet and engage with other like-minded Jewish students, creating lifelong connections.

Your generosity is an investment in empowering and upskilling young Jews to take active leadership roles in Jewish life. It is an investment in our community’s capital, and our capacity for creativity, which is necessary to secure our collective future.

With your help, we can grow Australia and New Zealand’s Jewish student movement and build a brighter future for the Jewish community.

On behalf of the AUJS team, we thank you for your continued commitment and generosity towards AUJS.
