Approximately three years ago, the Shalem Foundation set up a special way to provide assistance, among its other activities: by supporting community projects on the periphery and in the regional councils.
The goal of this track is to support social activities that integrate people with developmental intellectual disabilities, who live in their parents’ homes, in community life.
Anchor for Life — Sea Scouts is an educational maritime program that is given by the Beit She’an municipality in cooperation with the Sea Scouts, the maritime branch of the Israel Scouts.
The founder and manager of the program is Mr. Meir Gross.
The goals of the program are to enable the participants to improve their self-image; find strength under pressure; enhance social, interpersonal, and group skills, experience challenging and fun athletic activity, and integrate into the community.
Meetings take place once a week for two hours in the scouting group on Moshavat kinneret. The program has been running for several years in scouting groups all over Israel, mostly in the central region.
The partner organizations in the project are the Israel Scouts, the Shalem Foundation, and the Golani School in Beit She’an.
The program’s target population is 18 participants aged 15 to 21 who live with their parents and attend a day center.

The Etgarim Association participates in the competition — a peak event that is a foundational and empowering moment for the young people, their parents, the volunteers, and the staff.
