Hadassah-supported Youth Aliyah/Children at Risk sets Israel's disadvantaged children on the path to a successful future. Since 1934, over 300,000 young people from 80 lands have graduated from Youth Aliyah. Young immigrants and "at-risk" native Israelis, many of whom are victims of abuse, receive counseling, education, supportive services in Youth Aliyah day centers, and youth villages. From Hebrew language lessons and classes on Jewish heritage to athletic opportunities and art programs, Youth Aliyah students are given the extra help and attention they need to become productive members of Israeli society.

Young Judaea's 100th Anniversary On June 10, 1909, fifty delegates formally established a national Zionist youth organization, Young Judaea. On this day, a constitution was adopted which described Young Judaea goals as "to advance the cause of Zionism, to further the mental, moral and physical development of the Jewish youth, and to promote Jewish culture and ideals in accordance to Jewish tradition." On June 10, 2009, 100 years later, Young Judaea launched a year-long celebration of our history, accomplishments, and continued commitment to our goals and ideals.
