Out for Change works to ensure that in which every man and woman who leaves Haredi society is able to meet his or her full potential
Our Goals
The state of Israel will take responsibility for guaranteeing equal rights and opportunities to Yotzim
Every Yotze will have the means and personal well-being to realize his or her potential
Greater public awareness about the potential of Yotzim
Building a strong Exit movement that leads the way for changing its own future
Providing updated and relevant information and data about Yotzim, based in serious research
Our activities, aimed at helping thousands of current and future Yotzim integrate and succeed, are divided into four main areas
Advocacy and Policy Change
Advocacy and Policy Change
Policy Change - Working with policy-makers to ensure equal rights for all Yotzim, with the understanding that it is the responsibility and in the interest of the state to ensure the successful integration of Yotzim in the army, higher education and the workforce.
Offering Solutions for Yotzim - Development and implementation of various types of programs for Yotzim aimed at helping them realize their personal potential and successfully integrate into Israeli society. Programs include personal counseling and guidance, professional and vocational guidance, building diverse communities, courses, workshops, scholarships, tutoring, mentoring and more.
Raising Awareness about the Exit Movement - Raising awareness about the hope and the potential the Exit movement of Yotzim brings to Israeli society, while changing the discourse about Yotzim and bringing the stories of the thousands of men and women who have left Haredi society to the Israeli public.
Research and Information - The creation of a comprehensive and reliable database that sheds light on the Exit movement and forms the basis for all of the organization's activities, both with government officials and for programming for Yotzim.
The initial core claim against the state is organized by dozens of formerly ultra-Orthodox individuals: "It is the state's duty to provide every citizen with an education".
