Young Adult Center

Ariel’s Young Adult Center opened in 2016. The Center, dedicated in honor of Mayor Eli Shaviro’s late wife, Orya Shaviro, provides Ariel’s young adults ages 18-35 with a hub for personal and professional development.

The YAC’s services span a number of different fields:

• Parenting, including a club for new mothers and a variety of parenting workshops;
• Courses for young professionals, run in partnership with our own Field Center for Entrepreneurship (FCE)
• Employment fairs to match new graduates and current students with local businesses;
• Support for recent IDF veterans, including special workshops tailored for newly-released soldiers and professional and academic guidance;
• Resources and space – including co-working spaces, conference rooms, a music room, and more.

The YAC serves not only to provide support on the immediate level for young adults; it also builds community. The Center serves to help keep Ariel’s up-and-coming families and professionals firmly rooted in Ariel – and turns the city into an ideal destination for young families.
