Campaign for Dror Israel Schools for Youth At Risk
Dror Israel Educators Don’t Just Teach, They Transform Students’ Lives
We commit our lives to our work, living in educator communities, devoting time, energy, and resources - whatever it takes to help our students succeed. Most students have been rejected from other schools and Dror represents their “last chance.”
IMPACT
With your help we can continue our important work to change thousands of students’ lives throughout Israel.
OUR BOARDING SCHOOLS
Students come from difficult family backgrounds and face diverse personal challenges. Students thrive in small groups with dedicated educators and social workers. Through round-the-clock psycho-social support and educational programs, students learn responsibility, trust and independence.
THE NEED
-
Ensure that our boarding schools are able to provide psycho-social therapeutic programs to help students succeed
