Strive harder

I visited STRIVE the other day in Tel Aviv - one of my favorite programs here in Israel. STRIVE is a partnership with the Government of Israel based on a model from East Harlem, NY. The program works with disadvantaged young adults to take control of their lives and change them - so they can enter and succeed in the job market.

It's an amazing program and a great visit - we did a "skills" workshop, met with some of the clients and professionals.

And on the wall is a powerful and necessary statement ....

If you want to move a mountain, you need to move the smallest rocks.

Small, understandable, attainable steps move mountains. You can make the change. You can succeed.

And you need to get up!

I love "Strive."
It's an incredible, inspiring program.
It overcomes all the hard and soft-skill obstacles that keep younger Israelis out of the workforce. How do we get them to take control of their lives and succeed in the job market. How do we get people skills, self-confidence and the drive to get good jobs.

Which is why this short but amazing video really made my day.

Want to feel good about supporting the work we do in Israel? Watch this, and know how grateful we - and all those we serve - are for your help.
