Educating for Excellence, an Israeli Educational NGO, aims to close the achievement gap and end socioeconomic disparity in society by providing underprivileged youth access to a quality education through our 54 afterschool Excellence Centers nationwide. Our comprehensive, in-depth program is 10 years long (8-18 years old), and provides 12-16 weekly hours of instruction, tutoring, and mentorship to each program participant. Upon high school graduation, our program participants join our graduate network, which provides them with further support in their pursuit of higher education and related career paths (until age 35).
