Children and Youth at Risk

Although Israeli society places a high priority on families and children, still approximately 25% of Israel’s youth are considered at risk. These at-risk youth have often encountered unstable or unsafe living situations, the death or illness of a parent, or other traumas. The ICEJ is bringing practical aid to these youth in a number of ways such as supporting children’s homes/youth villages, providing educational enrichment programs to influence youth in a positive direction, and counseling and trauma therapy.  Your gift to the ICEJ Future and a Hope fund will impact Israel’s youth in the following ways;

• ICEJ aid for at-risk girls on the streets
• Children’s Homes
  • Living Space Improvements and Equipment Upgrades
  • Providing clothing and basic items
• Enrichment Programs
  • Mentorship and Leadership training
  • Social volunteering
  • Tutoring to close educational gaps
  • Practical skills learning
• Coexistence Activities
  • Bringing children from different backgrounds including Jews, Arabs, Bedouins and Druze, together to meet in educational frameworks that encourage new friendships
