Students Supporting Israel is a rapidly growing Zionist international campus movement that supports the State of Israel. Founded at the University of Minnesota in early 2012 by Ilan Sinelnikov and Valeria Chazin, it currently has multiple chapters across the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Argentina.
Our mission is to be a clear and confident pro-Israel voice on college campuses, and to support students in grassroots pro-Israel advocacy. We are committed to promoting a better understanding of Israel throughout North and South America as a member of the family of nations, with a fundamental right to exist as a Jewish, democratic state, within secure borders. |
What makes SSI different
from other pro-Israel organizations?

WE ARE THE ZIONIST HUB FOR STUDENTS ON CAMPUS, (REGARDLESS OF THEIR AFFILIATION TO OTHER PRO-ISRAEL GROUPS), WHO BELIEVE ISRAEL HAS THE RIGHT TO EXIST WITHIN SECURED BORDERS. SSI CHAPTERS ARE REGISTERED STUDENT CLUBS ON CAMPUS, THAT OPERATE UNDER THE UMBRELLA OF ONE NAME ACROSS MULTIPLE CAMPUSES (SSI), AND CAN INCLUDE INTERNS, FELLOWS, AND STUDENT LEADERS FROM THE VARIOUS COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS WHO SUPPORT ISRAEL.SSI IS THEIR HOME ON CAMPUS - BEING PART OF SSI MEANS THE STUDENTS ARE PART OF A UNIFIED GROUP OF ZIONIST LEADERS WITHIN AN ORGANIZED STUDENT CLUB. THE STUDENTS WHO KNOW THEIR CAMPUS BETTER THAN ANY ISRAEL-ADVOCACY PROFESSIONALS CAN, WORK WITH A DESIGNATED ACTIVISM BUDGET, CHOOSE THE MOST RELEVANT PROGRAMMING, AND LEAD THE GRASSROOTS ACTIVISM EFFORTS THAT FITS THEIR CAMPUS CLIMATE BEST, WHILE BEING EMPOWERED BY THE SSI MOVEMENT TO BE PRO-ACTIVE FOR ISRAEL. |
