| Metzilah’s Anti-Violence Projects: Making a Difference |
|
- They reduce violence levels and create a better atmosphere in schools:
In Kfar Saba (the Bar-Lev program – “Junior High School Student Empowerment”); in Alfei Menasheh (the Harel program - “Listening, Self-Restraint, Sensitivity, Love and Learning” brought about a 40% decline in violence and a 60% improvement in student performance); in Netanya (challenging sea-sports).
- They reduce school drop-out:
In Haifa (scuba diving for at-risk youth), in Arad (rappelling), in Kfar Saba (football school and the Bar-Lev program); in Netanya (sea sport for drop-out youth) Metzilah programs took students from remedial classes into matriculation classes; in Alfei Menasheh (music group), in Tel Aviv (neighborhood youth-club activities).
- They draw students into community activities:
In Arad graduates from a rappelling course helped restore a vandalized building; in Tel Aviv teenagers helped run activities in a neighborhood youth club; in Shoham students patrolled for environmental nuisances and pollution; in Kiryat Shmona they worked in the municipality’s emergency call-center.
- They reduce violence and vandalism in the community:
In Ashdod students helped protect the elderly; in Ramat Hasharon they took part in a Secure Community project; in the Jezreel Valley Regional Council they helped with organized student transport; in Ariel they worked among other teenagers.
- They help develop support and activity projects for disadvantaged youth:
In Arad (a course in emergency rescue), in Kfar Saba (dog training), in Carmiel and Tel Aviv (a youth club), in Shoham and Rehovot (Youth Town project).
- They reduce the number of police files on isolated teens:
In Arad and Shoham (from 22 to 9 files in six months).
