Opportunity Details

The program was established to help low-achieving adolescents improve their academic and personal achievements. To realize this goal we use various enrichment tools such as experiential and diverse social activities, and provide supervision and assistance in homework preparation and other academic tasks. Through these challenging activities, the adolescent experiences personal as well as social success.

The centers operates five days a week in an atmosphere of a warm home, a home that provides love, support and supervision, security and a structured framework, and maintains proper rules of conduct.
The program is a "complementary" framework aimed at developing and improving the adolescent's abilities parallel to the main frameworks in his life - family and school. The Centers focuses on deepening the family's and school's involvement and participation in the youth's success and achievements, since these connections contribute significantly to his personal strengthening.
The adolescent's success depends on the nature and frequency of the relationship between various frameworks in his life. This relationship is maintained on a regular basis by continuous communication with the parents, home visits, feedback, and cooperation with the professional and educational staff in the schools.

Target Population – Youth at Risk
The term "youth at risk" refers to a variety of youth all of whom are characterized by an element of risk, to themselves or to their environment, at present or in the future. One of the main risks faced by this population is dropping out and detachment from formal educational frameworks, resulting from social or domestic distress, difficulties in learning and perseverance, and more.
Goals and Success Benchmarks
We have set goals and objectives, which are measured by specific benchmarks for success.
Goals:
• Closing academic gaps and prevention of drop out
• Prevention of vagrancy and expansion of leisure activities
• Strengthening of personal resources and developing personal and intrapersonal skills
• Increasing social and community involvement
• Developing a generation of productive young adults who contribute to the community and to Israeli society

Benchmarks
• Improvement in academic achievement
• Prevention of drop out of formal educational systems
• Improvement of self–esteem, self-confidence and self-efficacy
• Strengthening of social skills
• Some of the graduates of the program return to the center as assistants, either through the "self-commitment" project or as volunteers, and then they join the army.

The Benchmarks are measured through feedback, questionnaires, and personal interviews with the boys, their educators and parents, at the beginning, middle and end of the school year.


Staff
The team coordinators employed by the Challenge Centers hold a bachelor's degree in Education, Social Work, Psychology etc., and work for at least 80% positions at the centers. This enables them to meet the youth throughout his daily activities, including school attendance, class performance and learning, activities in the center, and meaningful acquaintance with the family.
Activities at the Center
Participants are 5th to 11th grade boys and girls from various schools in the city of Herzliya. The centers operate four to five days a week, on Sunday-Thursday, between12.00-18.00. The boys or girls, in two separate centers of "Derech Hagalim Center" arrive at the centers directly from school, eat lunch, and start their homework/workbook preparation around 14.00. They are supervised by students and volunteers and are then divided to different activities:
• Extreme Sports.
• Marine Sports
• Studies and academic activities
• Social- and values- related activities
The girls' center was established 3 years ago under the same roof of "Derech Hagalim center" yet for girls. The needs of the girls' center _as it makes its first years, is extreme. We look for money donations and volunteers hours' to assist the girls, mainly in both subjects: English language and Mathematics.

Fair Opportunity Project is a nationally-focused nonprofit organization that was started in 2016 to empower students to access and afford college. Our services are free for students and there are no applications or deadlines to receive services. Students find us through our website. In 2024, we served students in every state with college advising, career mentoring, application essay reviews and hands-on financial aid help.

Your volunteer efforts help us tackle the big gaps in college access and outcomes:

--High income students are 19% more likely to enroll in college than middle or low income students;
--High income students have more support figuring out how to make college affordable. That's why they file the FAFSA in higher numbers and use strategies that reduce their college costs. (think: 529s, scholarships, appealing offer letters)
--High income students tend to know more college graduates, have the budget to visit colleges, and have help putting together a strong college list.

YOU can be the experienced connection so many students need. The US college process is bewildering to first-time students who are not in a college-going culture.

The onboarding process is quick and easy. To start, sign up on our website: https://www.fairopportunityproject.org/volunteer

Our volunteer opportunities are flexible and responsive to your interests and availability.

We'll connect with you once you sign up to learn more about your interests and how you want to help.

Our goal is to help level the playing field of college admissions in the US. We want everyone to be able to have good college advising, no matter their zip code or background.


The value of this volunteer opportunity is really incredible for these students. In the words of one mentee:

"Fair Opportunity Project is such an underrated program for high-school students where you can get help with college applications and financial aid and understanding the whole process. My Fair Opp advisor spent multiple sessions working with me on my essay and breaking down its strengths and weaknesses to polish it off before I submit to all my schools." --Laylee T., Texas
