Enrich your Jewish campus experience
KOACH helps you connect with your Jewish life on campus
College is a time of exploration and discovery. Campus
life will present you with a whirlwind of choices and challenges. Through
these experiences, you will begin to discover who you are and what you
believe.
KOACH can be an important part of this exciting time.
As Conservative Judaism's College Outreach Program, we help connect you
with your heritage, as well as with the Jewish community on your campus
and on campuses throughout North America and Israel.
The KOACH Student Steering Committee helps guide the
program to best reflect your needs. Working closely with your Hillel or
Jewish student organization, we encourage you to explore Judaism and
Jewish life, and to use these gifts in creating your Jewish identity.
Our Mission Statement...
KOACH provides college-age students the opportunity to maintain
and develop connections to Conservative Judaism.
KOACH nurtures a love of Torah, the Jewish people, Israel and God
through a variety of activities, including social, religious, educational, cultural
and social action programs. We seek to create a passionate Jew who is committed
to the future of the Jewish people and the improvement of the world.
