The Cochav Hatzafon Association

The Cochav Hatzafon Association has established and operates occupational centers and sheltered employment for people with multiple disabilities (emotional, mental and physical) at three locations in the Western and Northern Galilee. The Cochav Hatzafon association aims to empower people with special needs with the skills needed to become economically self sufficient and productive within the work force and encourages them to realize the personal potential inside each of them and to pursue their dreams. Thus, aside from arranging “traditional” employment opportunities for people with disabilities, which mainly include contracted factory work, the association has created unique opportunities for creative and productive employment making decorative items such as domestic products made of ceramics, placemats, wooden frameworks, candles, textile products, wooden furniture and greeting cards and providing skills that can be utilized in the open workforce.
