The project

 

“Strengthening the Sense of Community for Community Resilience in Israel” (the Community Building Initiative) is a five-year initiative implemented by the Shdemot Center for Community Leadership at the Oranim College. The project aims to develop the capacities of community centers so that they become key players for building strong, sustainable, inclusive and resilient communities. To accomplish this, the Shdemot Center is providing training and guidance to the Israeli Association of Community Centers and its members through their strategic planning and organizational change process. In addition, capacity development activities focus on five thematic areas, such as education & learning, special needs populations, preschool, Jewish identity, and volunteers. The combination of interventions intends to generate nation-wide impact on community building across Israel.
