Youth & Young Adult Programs

The Creating a Future transitional program prepares high school students with disabilities for various opportunities available upon the completion of their studies. The program also provides hands-on experience for the employment and supports them in developing a future orientation as potential members in the competitive job market.

Future Directions is a three-year study program which provides professional technology certification and employment competency.

The program enables young adults with disabilities aged 18+ to study in a Ministry of Education program for technological certification and to acquire the soft skills necessary to improve their chances in the competitive job market.

The Reshet program supports students aged 16-18 with physical, sensory or complex learning disabilities enrolled in regular schools.
The program helps students to explore the opportunities and possibilities available to them upon completion of school, such as military service, national service, professional and academic studies or employment in the competitive job market.

The For a Change program was developed with the belief that young people with disabilities are capable of volunteering and that they deserve the chance to contribute and influence the community like any other young person.
Israel Elwyn intends to apply the knowledge gained from the program’s development and from the activities in all the schools attended by students with disabilities.

Israel Elwyn’s After School Enrichment Program enables special education students to take part in various enrichment activities after regular school hours. The program provides knowledge and skills training beyond those that are taught during regular morning school hours and encourages active student participation.

The Mosaic Program provides supports for volunteers with disabilities who participate in national service programs through the nonprofit organizations that enable young adults who are exempt from IDF military service to take part in national service.

The Inclusion in Uniform Program was initiated by the Ministry of Welfare and Social Affairs and the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). The program enables young adults with disabilities who are exempt from serving in the military to volunteer for meaningful service, where some participants choose to enlist as part of the IDF after being a part of our program.

The Shoval – Equal in Education program enables individuals with disabilities to enter institutions of higher education and to study in different academic fields, such as communication, law, psychology and others, while also participating in the overall academic and social student experience.

The program was established in a cooperation between the Rabin Leadership Program at IDC Herzliya and Israel Elwyn.
