Across The Whole of Israel"
Student villages 
Kedma – a non-profit organization – was established in 2014 by young ideal driven Israelis to revive and restore the foundational Zionist values of supporting Israel’s frontier communities.
Kedma does so through providing support frameworks for such rural communities that also engage motivated students in empowering volunteer work, all while connecting newcomers to these far-flung regions with local residents. Kedma’s three main programs are: Student Villages , Gap-Year Programs and Young Communities.
Student villages
Student villages
Our marquee program, the Kedma Student Villages each gather 30 students and provides them with a special scholarship and reduced rent ; in exchange, each students commits to 300 hours of volunteer work each year for a total of over 90,000 yearly hours across Kedma's 9 Student Villages.
year of service
Kedma's Gap-Year Program takes highly motivated Israeli teens who are looking to make a real impact on Israeli society in the year before they join the IDF. Each of our three groups volunteers in a different region, providing much needed extra-curricular education and agricultural assistance to Israel's frontier communities.
Young communities
Kedma's Young Communities are the next step in bringing new life to Israel's frontiers, taking Kedma alumni and academic graduates who are looking to build their future in Israel's borderlands and providing them with an accessible and affordable route to integrate into frontier communities.
Social Centers
Kedma's Social Centers are the beating heart of every Kedma Student Village community and area of activity, providing a unique venue for entertainment and education where young Israelis can both relax and form new bonds with their communities and their friends.
