Mission
ISRAEL TENNIS & EDUCATION CENTERS FOUNDATION TRANSFORMS THE LIVES OF VULNERABLE CHILDREN IN ISRAEL, CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR A BRIGHTER FUTURE. WE OFFER MUCH NEEDED SUPPORT TO 20,000 CHILDREN ANNUALLY, OF ALL FAITHS, MANY LIVING ON OR BELOW THE POVERTY LEVEL, BY EDUCATING AND EMPOWERING THEM THROUGH ACADEMIC ENRICHMENT, SPORTS AND MENTORING, IGNITING HOPE AND OPENING PATHWAYS TO A SUCCESSFUL FUTURE FOR THEM AND FOR ISRAEL. OUR 15 CENTERS THROUGHOUT ISRAEL ARE INTENTIONALLY LOCATED IN UNDERPRIVILEGED NEIGHBORHOODS. ITEC TRULY EMBODIES INCLUSION AND UNITY IN A REGION WHERE THIS MODEL OF ETHNIC INTEGRATION IS RARE. IN THESE SAFE AND NURTURING ENVIRONMENTS, EACH AND EVERY CHILD IS OFFERED AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY, DREAM, LEARN AND MAKE FRIENDS WITHIN A PEACEFUL COMMUNITY.
