KKL-JNF is working to create a network of learning and community hubs throughout Israel that will provide both educational and value-based activities, promoting empowerment for youth in periphery communities. These multifunctional learning hubs will help youngsters improve their academic performance and develop skills to facilitate the achievement of personal and social goals, including that of serving in the IDF.
KKL-JNF Houses will also serve the larger community in the morning hours, providing information and skills to promote quality of life and social mobility. Each KKL-JNF House will respond to the particular
needs of the community in coordination with the respective local authorities.
The activities will be housed in renovated interiors designed to provide spacious, colorful and inviting places conducive to learning and flourishing. The centers will contain meeting and lecture rooms, different sized learning spaces, and relaxation areas. They will be equipped with a variety of educational resources, multimedia facilities and technological innovations to encourage creative learning based on the edutainment model of informal education.
The educational facilitators will comprise professionals who have the skills and capability to encourage and direct youth to realize their personal and scholastic potential.
From the beginning, KKL-JNF has promoted
Zionist and environmental education in various frameworks, both formal and informal, in Israel and the Diaspora. Many of the educational projects and activities have been designed for periphery communities, particularly those with a large proportion of new immigrants to help ensure their successful integration into society.
Throughout KKL-JNF's activities in behalf of Israel, from land acquisition, helping establish the state, to meeting the changing needs of new generations, KKL-JNF has contributed to ensuring the social, educational and cultural prosperity of Israeli children. This, with the understanding that the development of human resources is key to ensuring a sustainable future for all.
