Educational gaps that are ignored in childhood simply grow and fester into adulthood. And if, into the bargain, your parents are too preoccupied with safeguarding you from rockets or your school hasn’t opened because it isn’t safe to attend, then a high schooler’s lack of readiness for adult life is sure to impact everything that follows.

Bridge to Success brings twelve-year-olds in Sderot back to grade level education before they even enter middle school – especially in English and Math. Tutoring takes place throughout the school year and also operates as a city-wide summer school so that no child is left behind and the possibility of realizing true potential turns from vanishing hope to likelihood.

We offer the program, free of cost, to 150 children each year, for which we need to raise $2,000 per child.
