100% of proceeds will benefit the Darca Schools Network in Israel
Youth Renewal Fund is the philanthropic and strategic funding partner for Darca Schools in Israel, investing in an innovative education throughout Israel’s most underserved communities. Darca, Israel’s number one ranked network of schools, operates 48 high schools and learning centers, and serves nearly 30,000 students. Darca’s methods are based on academic excellence, commitment to high achievement, an innovative approach to education and inspiring leadership.

These methods are working. 93% of Darca students passed the Bagrut matriculation exam in the 2023/2024 school year, making them eligible to apply to university, compared to the national average of only 53%. Darca students are not only outperforming their peers and the national average, but they are also achieving successes at the same rate or higher than those students in the wealthier communities. Just by attending a Darca school, students are doubling their chances of post-secondary education.
