What is Student to Student? 

Student to Student brings Jewish high school students into area schools to share firsthand experiences about Jewish life, traditions and identity with their non-Jewish peers. Launched in Milwaukee in 2024, the program uses interactive presentations and Q&A sessions to help students learn about Judaism beyond lessons on the Holocaust. The initiative is a collaboration of several Milwaukee Jewish Federation programs and is designed to build understanding and reduce stereotypes through peer-to-peer education.
