How Does It Work?

We work with local partners in areas lacking social-sportive activities for special needs teens.

The activity includes soccer practice and social activities during the week, monthly tournaments, and meetings with Sha’ar Shivyon groups (non-special needs) where we further the integration of Special goals participants into Israel society.
