HOW WE GOT STARTED
While we worked towards building our future center, we believe that the time to start healing is now.
The Ariel Center began running its programs in January 2022, prior to the events of October 7th 2023.
After the war’s onset, the need for therapeutic support grew exponentially, and The Ariel Center was able to respond immediately with accessible programming for impacted individuals and families. That’s why The Ariel Center has already launched several impactful sports therapy programs, offering Israeli civilians - IDF reservists, sports educators children and families meaningful support and connection, strengthening and empowering them as they begin to heal during this critical time.
