Trampoline

Trampoline is a volunteer-led social initiative by the ProductX community, in partnership with Kibbutz Holit in the Gaza Envelope.

Launched in 2023, the program has operated continuously ever since, out of a deep commitment to the future of the kibbutz’s children, who lived through the October 7th massacre.

Our volunteers give children currently living in Rehovot and Revivim close personal support, both in person and online. The program combines academic help with personal empowerment. Its goal is to bring the children back to a regular learning routine, build their self-confidence and help them succeed.

What have we done so far?

We have built a working infrastructure and a joint management team. It includes a dedicated steering committee with representatives from the kibbutz, leaders from the ProductX community, and pedagogical and psychological advisors.
In parallel, we carried out an in-depth needs assessment, including interviews and one-on-one meetings with the children’s parents and educators, so that we could accurately identify each child’s academic needs.
Based on this process, we launched a successful pilot with Holit children in Rehovot. The program began with 17 children and teens aged 6–16, who continue to receive regular mentoring and support.
Alongside the ongoing tutoring, we have held enrichment sessions and special science and social events that give the children meaningful and inspiring experiences. These included a physics activity at the Schwartz/Reisman Science Center in Rehovot and a science visit to the Kraso Science Park in Be’er Sheva.

What’s next?

For the upcoming school year, our goal is to ensure the program continues. We will recruit new mentors in Rehovot and Revivim, and raise funds and form partnerships to finance scholarships for students who will support the children living in the south.

These donations will help us bridge the geographic distance and cover the costs of the pedagogical framework, transportation and enrichment events, which come to about $3,000 per child per year. Our aim is to give these children a stable and successful future.
