Youth Futures Tiberius

Youth Futures, a program of the Jewish Agency, matches high-need children with mentors called Trustees. Nationally, nearly 300 young adult Trustees work full-time to build strong relationships with children and parents. They meet with the youth weekly in one-on-one and group setting, as well as connect the children with resources such as tutoring and after school enrichment. Developing strong ties with the school system, social welfare system and municipal government, Youth Futures serves nearly 7,000 youth in 32 locations. Participants showed improvement on metrics including self image, motivation, attitude towards studies, behavior in group settings, and coping with setbacks.
