Meet Ben Marchette, CEO of ImpactIsrael. Ben has dedicated his career to leading organizations that support the civic foundations of Israel. As CEO of ImpactIsrael, Ben mobilizes American supporters to support Yemin Orde Youth Village and Village Way Educational Initiatives. Yemin Orde Youth Village, established in 1953, serves as a sanctuary and educational center for at-risk and immigrant youth in Israel. Under the leadership of Dr. Chaim Peri, the village developed the "Village Way" educational methodology. This holistic approach focuses on creating a supportive community that addresses the unique needs of at-risk youth, emphasizing the importance of cultural identity, education, and personal development. Today, Yemin Orde continues to provide a nurturing environment for hundreds of young people, offering individualized therapeutic care, academic support, and a sense of community. Its enduring mission is to empower these youth to overcome their past adversities and become productive, confident members of society.
