HAIFA SCHOLARS CREATE "SAFE SPACE" FOR AT- RISK GIRLS
6 ISEF MA Students at the University of Haifa raised funds and launched an after-school program for at-risk girls from distressed neighborhoods and impoverished single-parent families. Without support services, adolescent girls face a real danger of dropping out of school.
This new safe space provides 24 at-risk girls with a weekly program that teaches valuable life skills, provides positive role models and mentors, and familiarizes them with college life as well as professional and cultural opportunities.
“I never dreamed that just a couple of hours a week could be so life-changing.”
