ABOUT US
WHO WE ARE
Shevet Foundation is a non-profit community originally founded by fighters of the IDF Alpinist Unit. Our mission is to support and empower Israel’s community of wounded IDF veterans through a wide range of rehabilitative extreme sports programs.
We have extensive experience working with thousands of wounded IDF veterans, athletes with disabilities, and individuals affected by the October 7th War — with a special focus on amputees, lower-body paralysis, blindness, PTSD survivors, and with youth from the communities surrounding Gaza.
OUR TARGET AUDIENCE
VISION
The Shevet Foundation strives to lead a social change in perception, ensuring that people with physical limitations, in particular IDF wounded veterans, aren't defined by their limitations, but rather by their ability to break boundaries, experience freedom and live in full independence. Through extreme challenges, nature's energies and a supportive tribe, each person can build true resilience and rediscover inner strength.
MISSION
We are a community of volunteers working to empower IDF wounded soldiers and people with disabilities. We harness the forces of nature: snow, sea, and desert in the context of extreme sports to build resilience and self-confidence that are engines for personal growth and independence.
