Yavneh becomes an "O Ambassador School"

Yavneh Day School has been selected as an Oprah Winfrey Ambassador School (a joint project of Oprah’s Angel Network and Free the Children projects). The goal of the program is to empower young leaders and educators to “dream big” and speed up global change through exploration of active learning and talking action. The program connects young people in North America with people around the world to create lasting change by working toward the UN Millennium Development Goals.

As an “O Ambassador School,” Yavneh Day School, along with hundreds of other students across the country, will join the global community in working toward goals in four main areas: poverty, education, health and sustainable development. Yavneh Day School students will learn to become active, compassionate and knowledgeable global citizens, working for “Tikkun Olam” by applying the school’s values of “Think, Care and Belong.”
