The KKL-JNF Heritage Centers are specially designed buildings with state-of-the-art technology that serve as inviting after school venues for teens in peripheral communities. Their programs promote academic achievement and creative discovery in tandem with Zionist and environmental awareness and values.

The first KKL-JNF Heritage Center (aka House of Excellence) opened its doors in Nof HaGalil on March 18, 2018 and has since proven a success and inspiration! It is also the prototype for the construction of every KKL-JNF Heritage Center.

The second KKL-JNF Heritage Center (aka House of Excellence) in Kiryat Malachi opened on September 1, 2020 and is going strong!

Additional Heritage Centers have been slated for Sderot, Ofakim, Beit She'an, Akko, Tzfat, Kiryat Shmona, and Migdal HaEmek.

We offer you the opportunity to take part in this game-changing project, impacting the lives of youngsters who live in Galilee and Negev cities and strengthening the periphery.

You can be a partner in this successful venture and empower youth from the periphery to discover new horizons and reach new heights.

You can shape the future of youth in the periphery through an educational initiative that provides the tools, skills and knowledge in an engaging learning hub and inviting "second home" environment.

Some of the student feedback: "You're the best teacher I ever had." "I feel that I've really been seen for the first time." "I feel they really want to help." "I don't believe that I got 100 in math!" A mother commented, "My daughter never before showed such enthusiasm for learning".
