Empowering people with Special Needs

The generous support from the GlobalGiving Community has empowered Eitan-Everybody Can! to extend its model for the benefit of individuals with cognitive disabilities across Israel.
We're happy to share the success of Eitan-Everybody Can in 2024, marked by continued growth and program expansion, supporting individuals with autism nationwide.

To date, our team of over 150 professional trainers and volunteers is guiding more than 1000! individuals across 50 locations. To broaden our impact, throughout the year we broadened our marketing efforts and formed new partnerships with municipalities and schools across the country, aiming to establish additional training teams in Israel's periphery. We've reached 20 schools that are receiving support from us including Western Galilee. 

The demand for our services in Israel is steadily growing, prompting us to seek new partners and supporters. Our ongoing mission is to ensure that all Israelis with special needs can access professional fitness training, directly improving their quality of life.

We're looking ahead to our annual race, EitanRun, the only race in the country for people with and without disabilities. It's an experience for the whole family, and this year it's all about superheroes!

Over the past year, we've also expanded into the Haifa area. This area has been heavily affected by sirens and rockets, but thanks to our strong team working there, we've been able to keep a regular training routine for our trainees. The area is growing quickly, and more and more trainees are joining. We've opened 3 groups there, and they’re already full.

Currently, the 'Eitan' course in collaboration with Levinsky College and Wingate Institute is coming to an end. The course trained participants to promote individuals with special abilities through the 'Eitan Method,' which includes a wide range of fitness training. Graduates of the program will receive a certificate as 'Eitan Method Instructors' from the organization and the Levinsky-Wingate Academic Center. The participants will soon be joining the 'Eitan- EveryBody Can' family in the upcoming months.

We would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to the GlobalGiving Community for your generous support, and we are looking forward to continuing our partnership

We're happy to share the success of Eitan-Everybody Can in 2024, marked by continued growth and program expansion, supporting individuals with autism nationwide.

To date, our team of over 150 professional trainers and volunteers is guiding more than 650 individuals across 50 locations. To broaden our impact, throughout the year we broadened our marketing efforts and formed new partnerships with municipalities and schools across the country, aiming to establish additional training teams in Israel's periphery. Training sessions have commenced in schools, and we're preparing infrastructure for the upcoming school year. We now have over 400 trainees at the schools.

Over the past year, we have also expanded into the Haifa area. This area has been heavily affected by sirens and rockets, but thanks to our strong team working there, we've been able to maintain a regular training routine for our trainees."

The Eitanim project is a program for young adults with autism. Trainees who demonstrate both potential and enthusiasm are given the opportunity to enroll in a trainer certification course. Upon completion, they are eligible to work as trainers, both within Eitan and beyond, opening doors to a rewarding career path. The second program of the Eitanim project has been completed, during which around eight trainees were trained to become assistant coaches in the various groups within the organization.

The demand for our services in Israel is steadily growing, prompting us to seek new partners and supporters. Our ongoing mission is to ensure that all Israelis with special needs can access professional fitness training, directly improving their quality of life.
