- “College for All”:Helping the Youth of Beersheva Actualize their Potential
Beersheva is currently unable to accommodate and support all the local students that need educational enrichment. Most are considered "at-risk" due to their disadvantaged socio-economic backgrounds. As a result, they do not have the access to many of the quality educational services that are available in more affluent areas. Due to this lack of support, many promising students are on the verge of dropping out. “College for All” aims to narrow the social gaps emerging in Israeli society today. The “College for All” association aims to provide equal access to quality education for these children and youth in the hope that they will advance to higher education frameworks and emerge as leaders in their communities. The goal is to empower children and youth from low socio-economic backgrounds and offer the educational support and tutoring necessary to enable them to fulfill their true potential.
