“The CAMERA On Campus fellowship is an intrinsically formative program that challenges students to resolve for the truth about Israel and the Middle East in extraordinary ways. Through the fellowship, I found my voice to speak out as a Christian, Latino and unapologetic Zionist.”

Douglas Sandoval, 2018-2019 CAMERA Fellow, Fuller Theological Seminary
“My experience during the CAMERA Fellowship provided me with extensive Israel activism training, specifically in the media and on campus. Because of the Fellowship, I am confident in my ability to write op-eds about issues the pro-Israel community faces, both on campus and around the world.”

Nina Krishel, 2018-2019 CAMERA Fellow, California Polytechnic State University - San Luis Obispo
“Going into my CAMERA fellowship, I never expected to get nearly as much out of it as I did. I was immediately met with its incredible members and team, as well as by dozens of engaged and passionate students from around the world also looking to boost their engagement in Israel advocacy. I’m very grateful for the opportunity!”

Gershon Tsirulnikov, 2018-2019 CAMERA Fellow, University of Ottawa
“CAMERA has been a life-altering experience for me. The summer Conference was inspirational, teaching me priceless information about the importance of being an Israel advocate and giving me the know-how to be a good one. Additionally, it was a pleasure to work with and learn from the extremely talented campus coordinators, who helped me publish op-eds in various influential newspapers and bring an incredible speaker to campus.”

Michael Harel, 2018-2019 CAMERA Fellow, Binghamton University
“CAMERA’s fellowship taught me how to be a better pro-Israel activist by helping me focus on spreading the facts about Israel, talk about the nuances, and show that anti-Israel organizations on our campus are one-sided. Whenever I faced a new challenge at WashU, I was able to call my campus coordinator, who was so helpful in talking through the situation and making a plan.”

Nate Turk, 2018-2019 CAMERA Fellow, Washington University
