General Information
ITC wish to enhance social, psychological, and physical development of Israeli youth through the medium of sport. It provides a healthy, structured environment for children from all walks of life, teaches values of cooperation, self reliance and persistence, and provides opportunities for children to reach their own level of excellence. ITC operates 14 centers located in disadvantaged neighborhoods or outlying development towns, catering to more than 21,000 children weekly – out of which 6,785 are supported financially by the ITC. We address a variety of social needs, improving the lives of developmentally challenged, underprivileged and at-risk children and helping immigrant children to gain confidence, transcend social barriers and gain a sense of belonging and identity in new surroundings.
