ABOUT
LEADERS OF THE FUTURE
founded by Jonathan David in 2011 after discovering the beautiful and closely-knit Israeli-Ethiopian community who are mostly living below the poverty line and struggling to survive economically and integrate. The need for our initiative arises from the alarming sociological status quo of the Ethiopian Community in Israel and disturbing downward trends. The adjustment process in being transplanted from a patriarchal rural shepherding culture to a modern society has been difficult and sadly destructive to the family structure. More about our why
DEVELOPING A GENERATION OF ISRAELI-ETHIOPIAN YOUTH WHO WILL LEAD THEIR COMMUNITY FORWARD IN SOCIAL MOBILITY
Over the past decade, Leaders of the Future has developed a well thought out and tested winning-formula that places great emphasis on empowerment and academic excellence. Our programs are focused on developing self-confident, well rounded youth who have been empowered with education and leadership skills. Youth who matriculate high school and continue on to significant military service, academic careers, and leadership positions in Israeli society.
MAKING AN IMPACT
we partner as a family & support our participants throughout their youth, military service, higher education and deployment in the work force.
