AACI - WHO WE ARE

The Association of Americans and Canadians in Israel (AACI) is a voluntary, Zionist organization serving approximately 120,000 North Americans living in Israel.  We are dedicated to the successful absorption of these North American Israelis into Israeli society.  AACI actively encourages Aliyah, helps newcomers acclimate, provides ongoing services to veteran olim ("vatikim"), engages in programs to enhance the quality of life for all Israelis, provides social activities and works towards building stronger ties between North American Jewry and Israel. 

AACI has an active cadre of volunteers who work together with a staff of trained professionals to offer a variety of services and programs throughout the country. 

AACI - WHAT WE DO 

  • Pre-aliyah services - AACI, working in close cooperation with the Jewish agency Aliyah department, supplies pre-aliyah information to potential olim (immigrants).  Subjects cover a broad range of topics about aliyah (immigration) and klitah (absorption).
  • Klitah (Absorption) Counseling - trained professional counselors provide information, guidance and advice on topics including employment, health services, education, housing, immigration rights and absorption concerns.

  • Employment assistance - A team of professional  "job developers" at AACI can assist in all areas of employment and re-training.

  • The AACI Employment Resource Center operates a Referral Service to further our commitment to assisting both new and veteran olim in finding positions. The goal of our efforts is to create a means of introducing prospective employers and employees to each other. When you notify our offices of openings in your company or organization, we will inform appropriate candidates to make contact with you, according to your needs and direction. Please note that AACI Employment Referral Service is not an employment agency. We can refer reasonably suitable candidates to you, but the responsibility to screen and interview remains up to you.
     
  • Lobbying and Quality of Life - AACI, while politically unaligned, lobbies on klitah issues.

  • Social activities - AACI units throughout the country arrange a variety of social and cultural activities for all ages, including clubs, lectures, outings, entertainment and much, much more.
