Welcome to the Jewcer page of Heseg Mechina, a pre-army preparatory program dedicated to nurturing the potential of future lone soldiers in the IDF.
Founded by alumni of the Heseg Foundation, our mission is to empower individuals for impactful military service while nurturing Israeli identity and fostering social leadership. We are dedicated to addressing the distinct needs of future lone soldiers in Israel.
The Problem: Despite 60+ pre-army preparatory programs in Israel, none specifically address the needs of future lone soldiers, leaving them without tailored support for navigating life independently during and after their service.
Our Mission: To provide intensive preparation and support for future lone soldiers, promoting Israeli identity and social leadership through a 6-month program.
Our Participants: Soon to be lone soldiers in the IDF, including new immigrants, orphans, and those from disadvantaged backgrounds, who lack family support, all facing unique challenges. Despite these challenges, they exhibit remarkable resilience and ambition, seeking to excel in their future military service and beyond.
The Team: We are a group of over 20 scholars and alumni of the Heseg Foundation Scholarship, all former lone soldiers with diverse backgrounds and professions. Through our shared experiences, we deeply understand the challenges faced by youths without family support, and we’re dedicated to using our collective expertise to make a positive impact and provide support to those in similar circumstances.
Execution Plan
Candidate Selection: Screened 100+ candidates, accepted 35 to the program.
Strategic Partnerships: Established vital partnerships for living and housing, aligned with other Mechina programs for guidance.
Program Commencement: Set to begin in September with selected participants.
Fundraising: Launching efforts to secure funding for a full year of operations.
