What we do

Learning environment

We believe in supporting students at their schools and complementary informal education programs to improve their learning experience and retention as an essential piece in a multi-prong approach for reducing inequalities.

Community

Being that the community itself is an integral influence on the growth and development of each child, their environment is a crucial center for activity.

Gap year enrichment program

As part of building the next generation of leaders in Israel, each week our gap year volunteers benefit from a day of supplemental courses of enrichment, based on their interests.

Arab society

As a part of our approach of equality in education, of acknowledging others by coexistence, we believe that each person deserves an equal opportunity regardless of religion, race, or gender and enact a policy of inclusion.

To facilitate their continued dedication to involvement in the community and justice work, we offer our alumni a variety of programs.
