Elem Israel - Youth In Distress

ELEM- Youth in Distress is Israel's premier nonprofit organization addressing at-risk youth. ELEM seeks to locate and rehabilitate these teens and young adults and reintegrate them as productive members of society. The teens ELEM meets face a broad range of distress from normative adolescent crises and school attrition through much more complex situations, including social and family issues, questions relating to sexual identity, religious identity, drug and alcohol abuse, violence, criminal behavior, sexual exploitation, sexual abuse, and homelessness. ELEM specializes in identifying the hardships facing young people in Israel, and in developing innovative and relevant responses tailored to different populations. Every night, thousands of teens and young adults roam public parks, town squares, hangouts, and hideouts. Volunteers and staff on ELEM's outreach vans offer immediate humanitarian assistance, sometimes as basic as instant noodles and blankets. ELEM’s vans also set up in known hotspots and serve as a base for one-on-one meetings, access to phones, brochures, and first aid. The vans both provide critical services to teens on the streets and act as ELEM’s eyes and ears in mapping the changing of spectrum of risk facing Israel’s young people. עלם, העמותה לנוער בסיכון, הוקמה לפני 38 שנים במטרה לסייע לבני נוער, צעירים וצעירות בסיכון לשפר ולשנות את מצבם. בשנה האחרונה עלם סייעה לעשרות אלפי בני נוער וצעירים ברחובות, במרכזי הנוער, ברשת, בליווי לחיים עצמאיים ובקצה רצף הסיכון. עמותת עלם פועלת בשיתוף פעולה עם משרד הרווחה, משרדי ממשלה נוספים, רשויות מקומיות וגופים פילנתרופיים.

American Friends Of Elem

Founded in 1982, ELEM/Youth in Distress in Israel is the country’s leading nonprofit organization dedicated to treating and transforming the lives of troubled youth. ELEM’s 280 professionals and more than 1,700 volunteers don't wait for referrals to treat these youth, but seek them out on their turf - on the streets, in schools, on the Internet and at bars and nightclubs. The young people we serve annually and the additional youth who reach out to ELEM online each year face tremendous challenges, such as: domestic violence, substance abuse, neglect, bullying, homelessness and prostitution. ELEM works with secular and religious Jews; Christian and Muslim Arabs including Bedouins; immigrants, including those from the Former Soviet Union and Ethiopia; and the LGBT community. Many live on the streets and most of them will not seek help from traditional social service groups. Our 78 programs in 43 cities provide counseling, mentoring, vocational training and a safe space for Israeli youth to envision a positive future for themselves and become productive members of Israeli society.

Yad Ezra V'shulamit

Yad Ezra V’Shulamit is a humanitarian organization that helps fight poverty in Israel. The organization assists those that are in need throughout the country – orphans, single parents, poor families, those too sick to work, the elderly (including holocaust survivors) and new immigrants. Our goal is to make sure everyone has food, to ease the suffering of impoverished families, break the cycle of poverty and give children from needy families a chance for a better future. Aryeh Lurie is the man and the mission behind Yad Ezra V’Shulamit Despite his own family’s poverty, Lurie saw his mother cooking hot soup for Shabbat every week and giving the first portion to a family in need. He felt compelled to name the organization in honor of his parents Ezra and Shulamit. They taught him the values of charity and kindness that form the basis of the organization, focused on helping individuals overcome the challenges of poverty and achieve financial stability. Founded in 1988, Yad Ezra V’Shulamit began by delivering food baskets to 50 local families in need. Today it is a nation-wide organization with over food baskets distributed weekly to families all over Israel. Yad Ezra V’Shulamit organizes related projects including after-school children’s centers, where they feed hundreds of children every day, distribution of school supplies and winter supplies, emergency relief and more.

Eritrean Women's Community Center In Israel

The Eritrean Women's Community Center in Tel Aviv is an initiative designed and run independently by a group of Eritrean refugee women. Established in November 2011, the center aims to provide Eritrean women with a safe space as well as access to important services. This center is the first and only one of its kind, utilizing a grass roots approach to support and em Eritrean women in a fundamental way. Representing a safe space, the Center stands as a community fixture recognized as the location women can turn to in order to access information, services and support. Eritrean women in Israel traveled through the Sinai desert in Egypt in order to reach the border with Israel. This journey is notoriously dangerous as many refugees are held hostage by traffickers for extended periods of time until they are released in exchange for large sums of money. Many women are raped and the majority of individuals experience violence, torture, and a severe lack of basic needs along the way. There are Eritrean refugee women in Israel. About of them experienced sexual assault and torture in the Sinai desert. All Eritrean women in Israel lack access to basic services including healthcare and welfare. The Women's Center is the only place working to further community-based support structures for women. We offer a variety of direct services to help women struggling with past and current trauma. Our individual support services offer one-on-one assistance for vulnerable women with a special focus on single mothers. We run support groups led by trained social workers. We host community events to foster mutual solidarity and support on topics ranging from childcare to women’s health to domestic abuse. We hold monthly traditional coffee ceremonies, where women can come together in a supportive environment to talk about their struggles and offer support and advice.
