Commitment to Highest Quality Standards of Education and Safety

Nesiya has a 21 year track record of designing and conducting programs according to the highest standards, including: a high ratio of talented Senior Educators and Counselor-educators to students (at least 1 staff member for every 8 students), who participate in year-round staff training, and most of whom work for Nesiya for several years; arranging private workshops and concerts with leading Israeli artists, activists and educators (i.e. Ehud Banai, Michael Oren, Shlomo Gronich, Ami Ayalon, etc.); recruiting diverse Israeli peers to participate in every program; choosing distinctive, high-quality facilities in four regions of Israel; providing full-time logistical support to improve the quality of meal and snacks; and providing meaningful follow-up program and networking opportunities for Nesiya alumni.

Nesiya adheres to stringent safety and security standards, as authorized by the "Situation Room," of the Society for Protection of Nature, in cooperation with the Israeli army. The challenges of the Intifada have strengthened Nesiya's philosophy and methods for conducting programs that challenge and inspire young people to significantly develop their personal relationships with the people, land, and cultures of Israel.
