The Future IDF Assistance Program at The Balance is dedicated to helping at-risk teens overcome the challenges they face in joining the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), despite difficult backgrounds and experiences. Typically, parents play a significant role in guiding their children through the enlistment process, but for many of these teens, parental involvement is lacking due to negligence or overall unfitness. We step in to fill that gap, providing support in navigating the complex enlistment process and ensuring that these teens are fully prepared both mentally and physically. Our goal is not only to help them get into the IDF but also to guarantee their transition from the streets to the army is as safe and healthy as possible. Through personalized guidance and mentorship, we assist them in building the resilience and stability needed to thrive in such a transformative environment. The program focuses on addressing their unique emotional and psychological needs, offering trauma-informed care and ongoing support. By providing a structured, compassionate path, we empower these teens to succeed in the IDF and embark on a brighter future.
