Recruitment Network

Welcome to the North American Alumni Network!

Did you know you can have a significant impact on how many North American students apply to study at the Arava Institute each semester? It’s true; as an Arava alum, you understand and embody the ethos that ‘Nature Knows No Borders’. By joining the Alumni Network and sharing your stories, whether in person or through social media, you can bring the Arava Institute to life for dozens of young people.

 

With your help, we can increase our North American student numbers significantly, and accept more Middle Eastern students as a result. Join the Alumni Network and help us continue our mission of working across borders to build a more peaceful and sustainable world.

Email Outreach: Are you still in touch with some of your former professors? If so, send them an email letting them know about the impact the Arava Institute had on you, and ask them to spread the word to their current students. 

You can also send emails out to your personal networks inviting them to spread the word about the Arava Institute. 

Please remember to copy Lily on these emails.

Social Media: One of the easiest ways to spread the word about the Arava Institute is through social media. First, share one of the posts of tweets from our Arava Facebook page and Twitter page. Then, add your own message about your experience at the Arava institute. If you want to add a timely call to action, please reach out to Lily to find out what we are working towards at the moment. 

Presentations: Giving a presentation about the Arava Institute is one of the best ways to reach prospective students and interns. Please let Lily know if you would like to give a presentation at a university or other local community center and she will happily provide you materials. 

If you hear from any contacts that you reach out to for more information, you can send this Arava Institute digital brochure to learn more. You can also print this out, double sided, to use as a supplement if you give a presentation.
