The Heartbeat program, which was launched in 2017, is currently running in six localities. It focuses
on children between birth to age 3 who are considered “at-risk” and is now in the process of
becoming an Evidence-based model program. After an in-depth search, the company engaged
Healthy Families America (HFA), whose curriculum is well-suited to the Heartbeats approach and to
the Israeli audience.

The company has launched the Youth Futures Alumni Network which works with graduates of
Youth Futures and their parents, and this is now running in three localities.

For the past two years, Youth Futures has been holding two national events:
Youth Futures for the Community – Youth Futures values the concept of volunteerism and
recognizes its benefits for the beneficiaries as well as the volunteer. Mentors, children and families
undertake regular volunteer projects within the community throughout the year. Specifically on
Israel's National Volunteer Day, held during the Hanuka winter break, the mentors and children take
on a special volunteer project benefiting the community. Each mentor works with their group of
children to plan and carry out a special project.
Youth Futures on Israel's National Trail – During the Passover vacation, Youth Futures children,
parents and staff embark on a remarkable journey. From all 36 locations across the country,
participants take on a portion of the Israel National Trail closest to their homes.
