Federation Initiative: Unistream
We empower underprivileged teens in Israel. Although Israel is perceived as the “Start-Up Nation,” this phrase only refers to 9% of the workforce. Poverty and income inequality rates in Israel are among the highest in the developed world. Children from underprivileged areas — no matter how talented — are held back from achieving military and professional success. Through their three-year program for high school students, Unistream empowers 2,000 teens from disadvantaged communities to become creative entrepreneurs and community leaders.
Your support of The Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles strengthens our community and creates a vibrant Jewish future for us all. Your generosity alleviates poverty, provides emergency relief, and makes Jewish life affordable and accessible for people of all ages.
