The Incubator for Social Entrepreneurship

The Incubator for Social Entrepreneurship is a platform that enables graduates of Aluma programs to develop innovative ideas related to Aluma’s activities:

• Preparing teens for meaningful post-high school service and adult life.

• Helping young adults pursue and complete academic studies by providing encouragement, practical assistance, and guidance.

• Helping people successfully enter the workforce in positions that suit their education.

The social initiatives selected for our incubator receive a 20,000 NIS grant as seed money; an enrichment and training program that provides practical entrepreneurship tools and develops relevant professional and personal skills; and professional guidance as they develop their project. The incubator will be initiated in October 2021, and we are currently accepting proposals.
