Leadership Training for the Social Sector

Israeli society is trying to recover after the terrorist attack of October 7 and the outbreak of war. In the midst of the crisis, civil society organizations quickly filled the vacuum with relevant initiatives and played a crucial role as a platform for volunteering. Now, more than ever, managers in the social field are required to cope with the new challenges and demonstrate leadership in the complex situation we are facing.
