The campus at Bikat Kinarot, located in the northern region of Emek HaYarden, serves as a social,
           educational, and professional facility that advances both the Zionist enterprise and pluralistic
           engagement. By bringing proud, patriotic, and passionate Israelis from a variety of backgrounds
           together with visitors from abroad engaged in exploring their connection to Israel and Judaism, both
           populations are enriched and emerge with a heightened sense of responsibility for the continuity of
           the Jewish People, the advancement of Emek HaYarden, and the future of the State of Israel.

           Since 2016, The Jewish Agency has run four residential programs on the Bikat Kinarot campus.
           The goal is  to expand this to a total of ten programs over the upcoming years.
           Current programs consist of a pre-military academy for Israeli Jews and Christians (45-60
           participants), post-army and National Service programs (24 participants), a program for Garin
           Tzabar participants and Lone Soldiers (20-26 participants) and volunteers from abroad (40-60
           participants).

           New programs which are in various stages of exploration and development include a residential
           program for young immigrants studying engineering at the local Kinneret College, a civilian program
           for the Druze community in the Golan Heights, a Technological Education Center for young adults,
           an educational curriculum that focuses on the specific ecological and environmental challenges of
           Emek HaYarden, a Young Adult Guidance Center for employment and educational and parenting
           resources and networks, an Outdoor Training Facility, accommodations for Khan Education
           programs (which works with local schools and youth movements), and a Joint Venture Center
           focusing on casualties in the IDF and in the US Army.

           Project TEN:  Global Tikkun Olam is a service-learning program. Since June 2012, TEN
           Centers in Gondar - Ethiopia, Oaxaca - Mexico, Winneba - Ghana, Durban - South Africa and
           Kibbutz Harduf, Israel have been opened. Other locations in Central America, Cambodia and
           southern Israel are planned to be opened in order to reach a total of 8. In all locations,
           volunteers provide much-needed assistance to organizations such as orphanages and hospitals
           and develop sustainable programs with local non-profits in fields such as education, hygiene,
           healthcare, agriculture, and more. Volunteers study an intensive and rich curriculum focusing on
           Jewish identity, values, and community. Sessions include reflection and discussions on
           volunteering ethics, Shabbat and holidays, justice, and charity.
