Three years ago the project "Connected to the Youth" was established in order to create an infrastructure for working with youth in the council's yeshuvim. The project includes the following key components: a. Recruiting and training youth coordinators for each of the 10 yeshuvim. B. Establishing and equipping youth clubs, and engaging the youth in the yeshuvim. We are happy to report that the current project and youth programs in the yeshuvim are running successfully. After recently consulting with Ido, the partnership director, we have decided to take the project to the next level. Our goal is to generate change and expand the youth programs to a regional level, including operating regional groups, creating annual highlight events, establishing a youth academy program, and more.
