Nahalal Youth Village

The Nahalal Youth Village, located on Moshav Nahalal in the Jezreel Valley of Northern Israel, was founded in 1923 as an agricultural school for Eastern European immigrant women. In the 1940s, The Nahalal Youth Village became a co-educational high school. Currently, Nahalal serves 1,200 students in grades 7 to 12, who live both in the nearby area and in residential dormitories on campus.

Many of Nahalal's youngsters come from all over Israel and live in the residential dormitories, as their families are unable to protect and care for them. Many have experienced emotional, sexual and physical abuse. Others are new immigrant students who have arrived in Israel without their parents. Students from the nearby area attend school with those in the residential program. A new state-of-the-art education complex features a library, classrooms and the Dan Auditorium, which was recently dedicated.
