Jewish college students are navigating rising antisemitism, increasing polarization, and growing ideological rigidity, often feeling isolated and uncertain about how to engage across difference. Launched by The Bronfman Fellowship in 2024, Campus Commons: Building Bridges with Jewish Wisdom addresses this challenge by empowering students themselves as Campus Commons Connectors- Jewish student leaders driving change on campus. Through a leadership accelerator cohort and local implementation, Connectors develop the skills, relationships, and Jewish grounding needed to foster trust across divides. Campus Commons serves as a powerful intervention in leadership development, creating a network of support that equips Connectors to foster a culture of pluralism and lead with confidence on campus and beyond.

Mentors support Campus Commons students throughout the program as facilitators, near-peer role models, and trusted resources. They are young adults who help students apply bridge-building skills in real-world contexts and support both individual reflection and group learning. We will have up to 120 students split between two cohorts of 60, with a mentor team of 6 for each cohort.
