This program aims to provide learning tools, identity formation, and a clear and unique experience of success to youth who have experienced failures and faced negative experiences in their studies.
The goal is to instill confidence in their abilities, foster intrinsic motivation, and help them transition from a familiar sense of incapability to a feeling of competence, coping, and reciprocity. This is achieved through a positive, beneficial, and transformative educational mentorship experience.
As part of the program, university students work one-on-one with high school students across various schools across Jerusalem during morning hours, serving as role models and helping improve their academic performance, emotional resilience, and self-efficacy.
