Record-Breaking Growth at the IAF Center

Dear Friends and Supporters, 

 

2014 has been a year of record-breaking growth for the IAF Center. With your support, we've significantly increased the reach and impact of our educational mission. We are teaching the skills of leadership and the values of national service to far more young Israelis than ever before.  

 

Last week, more than 100 members of the IAF Youth Corps completed an intensive four-day boot camp on an Air Force base, which culminated their two years of leadership training at the IAF Center. This is the most youth we've hosted at a single boot camp - and our third group of graduates since September. We will host six boot camps this academic year alone! 


In just four years, we've worked with you to grow the IAF Youth Corps from a single group of 50 teenagers into a youth movement popular across Israel - championed by two Israeli Government Ministries as a uniquely effective model for teaching Zionist values to our next generation.

 

Our unique partnership with Israel's Air Force continues to deepen. IAF Commander Amir Eshel asked the IAF Center to develop a series of tailored leadership workshops for junior IAF officers from special units and squadrons. Several IAFCF supporters provided the funds to develop these unique workshops, which teach creative thinking, critical analysis, and Zionist values to the men and women who will soon stand at the helm of the Air Force. We begin the program's second year of operation this week, with plans to train 300 additional young officers.    

    

While celebrating a year filled with great success, the IAF Center has set ambitious goals for even greater growth in 2015. However, we need your partnership to continue the momentum.

 

I urge you to click here to make a generous year-end contribution. Together, let's double-down on the IAF Center's proven programs to shape Israel's youth, strengthen its Air Force, and enrich its society.

 

Thank you for your continued support - for joining with us to invest in Israel's future.

 

With much appreciation and Happy Hannukah,
