U.S. - Israel Citizenship Through Sports Exchange
Like democracy, team sports recognize individual accomplishments, yet emphasize commitment to the greater good. Both demand perseverance through adversity and reward teamwork. Invoking this useful resonance, the U.S.-Israel Citizenship Through Sports Exchange (CTSE) offers young American and Israeli student-athletes a valuable means of applying their background in sports to the art of active citizenship.
Building character and addressing school violence.
Since 2000, CTSE has generated cross-cultural dialogue and democratic engagement among American and Israeli student athletes. One of our most dynamic programs, CTSE encourages students to openly and honestly address the issues affecting their lives, communities and schools. Together, our Israeli and American participants receive the training to confront problems impacting both nations, including school violence and threats to security and democracy.
CTSE has directly involved hundreds of American and Israeli high school student athletes of many faiths and ethnicities, and impacted hundreds more in their schools, communities and clubs
