Tzuriman Association - A Non Profit Organization for supporting, promoting and preventing risky behaviors for youth in the Golan Heights. The association was established with the aim of putting the youth at the center.
In order to locate the Golan's at-risk youth, prevent their deterioration, empower them and integrate them successfully in mainstream society – the Tsuriman Organization created the following innovative and highly successful programs:
"The Youth Center" which provides individual and group therapy, vocational direction, volunteering programs in the community, and various extracurricular classes such as music and theater.
"Café Galeria" – a welcoming café managed and operated by young adults that provides them with a base for their livelihood as a social impact enterprise. The café boosts its popularity and the number of clientele by hosting public events.
"Training center" – We offer trainings, lectures and workshops for professionals, educational teams, informal education, parents and caregivers With the aim of empowering and giving benevolent tools to those who work and raise teenagers.
“Integration of youth with special needs and mentally challenged” - We developed a model that allows youth with special needs to integrate into work and be a significant part of youth society. The teenagers are accompanied by senior volunteers.
“Center for Music and Art” - We use music and art as tools for healing, expression, empowerment and development. We hold classes, jam sessions, performances and exhibitions.
-”Holistic escort and care in times of crisis/difficulty” - A pilot program for intervention and providing a respectful and holistic response and beneficial tools for dealing with times of crisis and difficulty during a crisis in the open dialogue approach for youth, their families and the frameworks in their lives (a research-based approach for intervention during an acute mental crisis born in Finland in the 1980s),
Within just 2 years since Tsuriman's founding, these initiatives have proven very successful in building new motivation among the participants to invest in themselves and their futures.
