Helping At-Risk Teens in Israel

Federation overseas partner The Jewish Agency for Israel is helping at-risk teens in Israel through Youth Futures. Mentors work one-on-one with children, who are in challenging family circumstances, helping them navigate their life and develop positive habits. Mentors also support the adult caregivers with guidance on how to access social services, manage budgets and create successful family dynamics. In the wake of the heartache of the pandemic, many teens and families have found themselves in need of the extra support that programs like Youth Futures provide.
