our story

Amid the growing challenges Jewish students face on college campuses, two trailblazing advocates—23-year-old founder Yasmeen Ohebsion in partnership with human rights activist and business leader Mandana Dayani through her nonprofit Calanet Foundation—have launched Our CampUs United, an innovative online platform designed to empower Jewish students with the knowledge, resources, and tools necessary to take action against antisemitism, build community through joy and lead meaningful change on their campuses.

Our Campus United is a project of Calanet Foundation. Its mission is to incubate innovative systems that drive meaningful impact through culture, creativity, storytelling, and grassroots action.
