Olim with Ayalim
In the Olim with Ayalim Project, a Garin (core group) of young new immigrants joins one of the Ayalim student villages and becomes part of the social integration and national goals that define them.

Olim with Ayalim provides a structured framework for Aliyah that includes a support system for the early absorption stages at an Absorption Center in Beer Sheva. Once students complete their Ulpan, they move into an Ayalim Student Village, where later they will begin their academic studies. Here they are provided with a built-in community consisting of both olim and Israelis, who are all studying, volunteering and contributing to community life in Israel.

Who is eligible?
Individuals age 20-29 who will earn either BA or MA degrees at Ben Gurion University and live at the new Student Villages in the Negev and who are from English–speaking countries.
