JAINA CAMPUS OUTREACH

Overview: Are you a college student in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Detroit, South Jersey /Philadelphia/Delaware, North Jersey/New York, Chicago, Phoenix, North Carolina or Boston? JAINA is initiating a Campus Outreach Program in these cities. We would like to help reconnect college students with the Jain community in their local areas.

Jain Centers in these cities have volunteered to have special programming geared just for you. Examples include: rides to the temple, special poojas, support during Paryushaun, yoga/meditation, and classes in English.

Students Registration: Click here to Register

Interested??? Contact Ashok Domadia at 510-979-9312 or adomadia@cisco.com and give him your locality and contact information. After this, coordinators in your area will get in touch with you.

"Local Jain center(s) will be a vital and necessary part of the Campus Outreach initiative. For example, 4 or 5 programs can be organized annually that can bring students to the Temple. In addition, local Jain center(s) can make visiting Jain scholars available to provide lectures to students on campus. Yoga sessions or stress reducing seminars on campuses from our scholars may prove to be very popular with entire student population. Frequently, all that is required is inviting students to programs at the local Jain Center(s) and arranging transportation."
