Youth Futures Numbers
Our Model
Our Work
In response to prolonged crises and the growing needs of Youth Futures children and families, the organization updated its strategic plan and expanded its definition of children at risk, reflecting the complex and widespread challenges experienced by children and parents across the country.
In light of a significant increase in demand for our services, Youth Futures was recognized as a national initiative dedicated to the rehabilitation efforts of Israel’s children. This recognition was conferred at a ceremonial event held at the President’s Residence in September 2024, attended by key partners including the Minister of Education, the Minister for the Development of the Negev and the Galilee, the CEO of Mifal HaPais, the Chair of the Local Authorities Association, the Chair of the Jewish Agency, the Chair of Keren Hayesod, JFNA, and many donors from Israel and around the world. These partnerships have enabled us to expand our operations to support many more families and children in northern and southern Israel. This expansion allows us to serve approximately 1,700 additional children and to extend our services to new communities, including Druze populations.
Heartbeats - Youth Futures for Early Childhood
The Heartbeats program was established with the aim of creating a response for parents of infants in order to support them in the initial stages of parenting, encouraging the parent-child relationship, healthy development of the children and utility of the services available in the community.
