SFL Education mission is to empower young people to realize their dreams and unlock their potential. We achieve this through our two core components: Social Emotional Learning (SEL) program and the Holistic school model. The expected outcomes include reduced drop-out rates, improved learning outcomes, and higher levels of mental well-being. Learners will gain a stronger sense of personal agency, both in realizing their individual dreams and in contributing towards sustainable development for the communities. The program interfaced with the existing curricula in the participating schools. Classroom sessions in the formal part of the school day become complemented with group activities in the afternoon. The program includes out-of-school trips and activities that help broaden learners’ perspectives and offer unique experiences. In September 2022, 831 students from 4 schools entered the pilot phase. The program will be scaled-up incrementally throughout East Jerusalem as support and demand grow among stakeholders, and additional funding becomes available.
The Star for Life Foundation in Jerusalem focuses on the advancement of better life opportunities for all inhabitants of East Jerusalem, so that, in the long term, they can build a brighter future for themselves and their families.
