Our Current work with Israeli Leadership & Youth
The Ariel Center believes in the strength and potential of Israeli youth.
By equipping educators and young leaders with our philosophy of resilience through sport, and granting them practical tools, we’re helping participants step into active roles as supporters and changemakers in their communities.
This is needed always, and more so in Israel's currently tense climate.
Mind-Body Resilience Training
in partnership with Magen David Adom
As the crisis deepens, The Ariel Center is working around the clock to support those on the front lines of Israel’s home front. The need is immediate. Every day, first responders are facing overwhelming trauma. We’re stepping in with proven resilience workshops to help them regain emotional and mental strength as they continue to serve. These heroes cannot wait.
Working also closely with leaders of the MADA youth movement, we’re providing similar training with an emphasis on practical skills for managing crisis, supporting others, and maintaining personal well-being through ongoing challenges.
Sports Resilience Leadership Training
in partnership with The Israel Trauma Coalition
In April 2025, we launched a joint initiative with the Israel Trauma Coalition, training 20 influential sports leaders from Israel's Sorek Region to become resilience ambassadors.
This program equips participants with the tools to weave emotional resilience practices into their everyday work with youth and their general audiences.
As this program continues to run, The Ariel Center is working along with various partners, planning to begin additional cohorts.
100% of participants would recommend this program to their colleagues and peers.
“The course was excellent, very informative, and in my personal opinion it is essential for all trainers in Israel.”
