Friends of Atidim is a nonprofit Israeli organization established in 2000 that aims to reduce socioeconomic disparities by supporting talented youth from underserved and peripheral communities. The non-profit company is based in Herzelia Pituach, Israel. It focuses on promoting equal representation of young men and women in centers of excellence, particularly in science, technology, engineering, and high-tech sectors, including the IDF, industry, and academia. The organization offers programs providing financial aid, academic and professional education, personal development, and employment opportunities. Key initiatives include pre-military preparatory courses, psychometric training, and specialized programs such as "Atidim for Industry," which supports students in engineering and computer science with guidance, financial support, work experience, and life skills. The "Atidim Practical Engineers" program enables students to earn practical engineering degrees in collaboration with industry, while the "Fighters to High-Tech" program helps convert combat skills into technological qualifications. The organization also promotes gender equality through the Step Up community, which supports women in engineering and computer science with leadership development and mentoring. Friends of Atidim operates in cooperation with the IDF, government ministries, and private and public sectors, serving over 15,000 participants annually across multiple programs.
