HOLLYWOOD, Fla., September 29, 2025 — Hundreds of college students from across the U.S. will unite October 23–26, 2025, at The Diplomat Hotel in Hollywood, Florida, for Jewish National Fund-USA’s sold-out College Summit at its Global Conference for Israel, one of the world’s premier gatherings for philanthropy, advocacy, and Zionist engagement.
The multi-day gathering will serve as a powerful show of strength and solidarity from the next generation of Zionist leaders, uniting students, educators, Israelis, policymakers, activists, and Jewish National Fund-USA partners, all dedicated to building a vibrant and secure future for the Jewish Homeland.
This year’s summit takes on new urgency as Jewish students across the country face an unprecedented wave of antisemitism on campus. From vandalized Hillels to disrupted protests and discriminatory student government resolutions, young Jews are under attack for expressing pride in their identity and support for Israel. The summit is designed to counter these assaults on Jewish identity by harnessing the power of education and community.
“We’re empowering students to be proud, unapologetic Zionists,” said Jewish National Fund-USA Director, Campus Engagement Dana Klein. “In today’s often-hostile environment, our voice matters more than ever. These young advocates are standing up, speaking out, and showing that antisemitism and anti-Israel hate will not go unanswered.”
Throughout the weekend, college attendees will participate in workshops on confronting antisemitism, harnessing the power of social media, and learning from our coalition of non-Jewish allies. They will also have access to exclusive networking opportunities with young professionals, a special Shabbat dinner, and a spirited Saturday night celebration with over 2,500 fellow Zionists.
Students can also participate in dozens of intimate breakout discussions, as well as powerful plenaries featuring keynote speakers that place them at the center of Jewish National Fund-USA’s story and impact. The conference will also feature the largest Israel Expo in the world, highlighting cutting-edge work in resilience, security, water innovation, agriculture, and housing development throughout Israel’s North and South—areas where students’ philanthropic support and advocacy are making a real-world impact.
“The College Summit proves that the future of Israel advocacy is already here,” added Klein. “These students are more than participants—they’re partners in our mission to ensure that Israel’s tomorrow is bright, strong, and secure. And we are giving them the tools to lead with strength and integrity.”
The conference is sold out, but day rates are still available. To learn more or register for day passes, visit jnf.org/global.
