Elem- Youth in distress in Israel - English

ELEM was founded in 1981 by a group of volunteers from Israel and the United States in order to help youth-at-risk become productive citizens, contributing to the society and the nation.
We believe that caring for children at risk is the responsibility of the entire society. The State of Israel, as a democratic welfare state, must guarantee the basic rights of each and every child in Israel, as prescribed in the international conventions to which it is signatory.
As a volunteer and professional organization our goal is to ensure the continuation of the collective responsibility through enlightened social policy, along with enlisting the assistance of the public-at-large, receiving support from the business sector and promoting volunteer involvement that embodies caring, empathy and true partnership.
As a social-civil organization we draw our strength and status from:
• Independence in our public and professional activities.
• Financial independence and flexibility.
• Activity based on broad volunteer involvement.
• Pro-active behavior and a commitment to social themes relevant to the entire society.
