About the Alumni Network

The Edmond de Rothschild Partnerships’ Alumni Network is composed of more than 1,200 alumni of its young leadership programs, including Kav Hazinuk, The Cadets Program, Masar, BR Ambassadors, and Cadets for the Local Government. Each year, 120 programs alumni join the network, which thus continues to evolve while retaining a dynamic and innovative spirit.

The Alumni hail from different and varied backgrounds, reflecting the religions and religiosity, geographical range, types of communities, cultures, and genders represented in Israeli society. This diverse human fabric enables fulfilling the network’s vision and its members’ aspirations and goals. Our alumni affirm that the tools they acquired through the various program, along with the diverse human interactions they experienced, continue to exert a lasting influence on them and mold their paths post-participation.

The network’s alumni lead a number of professional forums and task forces that address networking, reducing gaps, social mobility, positions of influence, and more. In addition, courses and dedicated meetings are held throughout the year for the members and to strengthen Israeli society.
