THE NATIONAL LEADERSHIP CENTER 2021-2022

THE ROAD AHEAD
        Since 2010, thousands of Israeli youth have come to understand their identity and life purpose
        at the National Leadership Center. The road ahead offers even greater opportunities to shape
        Israel’s next generation of leaders.

        Our partnership and collaboration with Israel’s Ministry of Education and the Ministry
        of Defense are opening the way for a national impact in high schools all across Israel, with
        members of the IDF, and with military, police and emergency personnel, parents and business
        leaders.

WHERE THE ROAD WILL TAKE US
WHILE MAINTAINING THE NATIONAL
LEADERSHIP CENTER AS OUR HUB,
WE WILL FOCUS ON:
•     Growing from a Local to National organization
      delivering programs throughout Israel.

•     Increasing effectiveness through refined content,
      measurement, and increased engagement using
      multiple sessions.

•     Becoming a Movement that provides a variety of
      programs that goes deeper and wider, reaching Arab
      Israelis, Orthodox Jews, parents and teens, and
      educators.

•     Increasing cooperation by working closely with the
      Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Defense in
      response to their requests and invitation to collaborate
      on development new programs.

HOW WE WILL GET THERE
    In 2021 and 2022 we plan to increase significantly the
    number of students who experience programs outside the
    NLC facilities. We will also develop new courses custom-
    ized for each audience, and use digital and online resources
    to increase delivery and effectiveness of our content.
