All proceeds from this event will be dedicated to supporting the Darca School, Mekif H’ Ashkelon, one of the 47 schools in our network. Due to its close proximity to the Gaza border, Mekif H’ is experiencing acute and significant challenges as the war continues in Israel — The school has faced damage due to rocket-fire, as well as tragedy, and loss. The funds raised during our Winter Benefit will be allocated to cover the school’s operational expenses, ensuring that our students can regain a semblance of normalcy when they eventually return to in-person learning.

Darca Mekif H’ High school is a six-year middle & high school in Ashkelon. This schools serves a diverse student population both academically and in terms of socio-economic background. The school believes that excellence should be a quality routine. They empower their students through education for formative leadership, while simultaneously addressing the diverse population, fostering academic achievements and instilling values with a constant aspiration for personal and social excellence.

INVEST. INNOVATE. EDUCATE.

Youth Renewal Fund is the philanthropic and strategic funding partner for the Darca network of schools in Israel. Darca provides Israeli high school students in lower income communities — regardless of ability, religion, birthplace, geographic or socio-economic status — an excellent education designed to improve social mobility. The schools emphasize academic achievement and the values of tolerance, democracy and active participation in national and community life. The Darca Schools network currently operates 47 high schools serving over 27,000 students each day in the country’s peripheral communities.

Israel currently faces one of the largest and fastest growing gaps in educational achievement between rich and poor. An under-educated population puts Israel’s predominantly knowledge-based economy at risk. Through Darca schools, Israeli children discover and harness the power of education as a means to improve quality of life for themselves, their communities and their country.
