Atid is the Hebrew word for future, and Atidim (Futures) is the name of a breakthrough project designed to secure the future of Israel by enabling highly-talented youth in disadvantaged areas to realize their full academic potential

Atidim offers a broad range of age-specific programs - beginning with a curriculum for students in high schools (Pre-Atidim), through the universities and ending with their placement in meaningful positions in the Israeli industry or public administration. Many of the students currently enrolled in different phases of Atidim are new immigrants, and the program is essential in helping them integrate into Israeli society.

Pre-Atidim

The Jewish Agency's involvement with the Atidim Association focuses primarily on Pre-Atidim. The Pre-Atidim program aims to help children (ages 13-18) achieve an advanced science-oriented high school diploma, increasing their chances of being accepted into one of Israel's prestigious universities.

In the school year which recently ended, over 3000 children joined the program for a total of over 8000 children in 55 locations throughout Israel.
