ImpactIsrael is the U.S.-based philanthropic partner of Yemin Orde Youth Village and Village Way Educational Initiatives, both based in Israel. The Village is home, school and safe haven for 450 at-risk youth from Ethiopia, former Soviet Union, France, Brazil, Israel-born, and other countries where religious freedom is tenuous and youth confront daily struggle to survive. At Yemin Orde, fragile youth receive a quality education, therapeutic care, exceptional programs and activities and the support of a dedicated team of educators and professionals. The Village's educational methodology, called the Village Way, helps these troubled youth to thrive and embrace hope for a bright future as citizens of Israel. Through Village Way Educational Initiatives, the Village Way methodology is now integrated into 60 educational communities in Israel, including youth villages, therapeutic residential communities and high schools with high populations of at-risk youth, including Arab communities. The Educational Initiatives impacts 25,500 at-risk youth and 2,700 educators in Israel. Together, with its global community of donors, ImpactIsrael is helping to change the nature of education for thousands of Israel's at-risk youth - its next generation of leaders.
