Overview

Mission

Our mission is to instill in our students a lifelong love and commitment to torah, am yisrael and eretz yisrael. This is accomplished through our unique curriculum combining a half day of dynamic torah study, with community internships and a full program of educational and challenging trips

What it reported doing in 2023

Gap year program for students focused on torah study, community internships and challenging trips.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 91% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
