Olami Arizona was established in the year 2005.
Our mission is simple - to build and educate the next generation of Jewish leaders.

Over the past 20 years, our dreams have become a reality!
We have touched the lives of thousands of students and see strong Jewish communities across the globe being led by our alumni.

Olami ASU and Olami UofA serve as homes away from home for the Jewish students there.
Our staff are loving, passionate educators and our students are dynamic, awesome people.

Olami Phoenix, our young professional division, has the same warm, welcoming, homey vibe as our campus houses and provides education and community to those who have graduated college.

All three programs are vibrant Jewish spaces for growth, connection, education and fun!!

Come Join Us!
