Ani Shlishi (“I am Third”), is a nonprofit organization based in Israel, providing opportunities for self-advancement and meaningful employment for Israel’s at-risk youth ages 16–18.
Ani Shlishi collects secondhand clothes for resale at its thrift stores and employs young people at the stores to provide them with marketable retail, customer service, leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills, preparing them for success in the workplace and in life.
We plan to replicate our model in other Israeli communities to accommodate the growing number of program applicants.
