MISSION STATEMENT

We aim to inspire Jewish pride and identity in the Los Angeles area for mitzvah age children,  fostering a deeper understanding of the awesome cultural contributions created by the Jewish community through an innovative and experiential five-week long mitzvah project.

VISION

Teens will work with AKLA’s leading partner organizations in high tech, medicine, security, arts and remembrance. They will be exposed to innovative and inspiring ways to look at their Jewish identity, and how they too can  incorporate that understanding into their own lives and the greater Los Angeles Jewish community. The program also  highlight Israel’s myriad cutting-edge achievements, thereby allowing the participants to forge a deeper connection to Israel and take pride in our homeland.
