Bridging social gaps with high tech, leadership and social values
Net@
Net@ is the leading program helping to close Israel’s social gaps through a dual technological and leadership curriculum for youth in the periphery. An extra-curricular program for students in years 5-12, students benefit from technical computer classes, such as programming, networking and more. The program also emphasizes the importance of volunteering in local communities.
Youth in Israel’s socioeconomic and geographic peripheries are often underserved. Net@ creates new opportunities for social mobility by instilling technological and leadership skills in students. Net@ is also the only long-term youth program in Israel that brings together Jewish, Muslim and Christian students
More than 5,000 Israelis have graduated from Net@. The Alumni Association offers more opportunities for further academic and professional advancement. A dedicated coordinator works with Appleseeds Academy to provide Net@ alumni with access to tools and events that will help them advance.

Net@ launched its first classroom abroad in Milan in fall 2018. For the first time, a Keren Hayesod-support project is able to directly share its successes with an overseas community. Net@ Milan is led by Israeli graduates of the program. The Italian students work together with their Israeli peers and make educational visits to Israel.
