Youth Renewal Fund was established in 1989 to provide supplemental education to underprivileged children in Israel.

The Israeli school system is plagued by a shortage of qualified teachers, minimal instruction hours, inadequate facilities, over-crowded classrooms and budget cuts. Students from low-income homes are particularly vulnerable to these deficiencies and do not receive the quality of education they need to break the poverty cycle.

YRF gives Israel's children the resources to build brighter, more prosperous futures.

YRF projects teach core academic subjects, enhance critical reasoning skills, expose students to technological innovation, and provide a strong network of support. YRF also creates rigorous training programs to improve teacher effectiveness in the classroom and offers scholarships to alumni attending university.

By achieving success academically, YRF students discover the power of education as a tool for improving their positions in life and those of their families.
