  • Youth Futures in the Community: a Closer Look at Its Impact Tzahar Region (Tzfat/Hatzor)
    Youth Futures Achieving, Excelling, Expanding 2016 Annual Report Keren Hayesod – United Israel Appeal October 2016 Youth Futures 2016 Annual Report Presented by Keren Hayesod – United Israel Appeal Youth Futures, founded in 2006, is The Jewish Agency’s high-impact, community-based initiative that addresses the long-term needs of “at-risk” children in a holistic manner. The programme’s vision is to provide these children and their families with adequate tools to grow and realize their potential. Using a unique mentoring model, in which each child works with the same Mentor who engages the school, family, and social service network, more positive systemic change occur. Over the past 10 years, the programme has expanded and enriched its operational model to become an effective empowerment programme for youth at risk and their families. Youth Futures operates in 36 communities in Israel's socioeconomic and geographic periphery and in all sectors of Israeli society, including Ultra-Orthodox and Arab, Bedouin, and Druze communities in our East Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Acco, Matte Asher, Lod, Horfeish, and Segev shalom chapters. In our locations that serve Arab youth, Youth Futures promotes coexistence and tolerance among Jewish and Arab staff through joint professional development and training. Staff participates in monthly dialogue sessions in which Mentors work together to overcome challenges and enhance tolerance and partnership. In the long- term, we hope that coexistence among Mentors will encourage tolerance among the youth with whom they work. Youth Futures succeeds because of a holistic and in-depth approach that focuses on the positive forces that are dormant in each child and need to be awakened, enabling problems to be addressed and barriers to success removed.
