The Equalizer is an educational, social and sportive organization striving to instill an effective framework for children in Israel's periphery. The organization runs teams in elementary, middle and high schools, and combines soccer practice and monthly tournaments alongside study centers which provide educational assistance and value-based activities. Through the regional tournaments, the children meet others from neighboring towns, with different backgrounds and sometimes different religions. At the tournaments, a fair play trophy is awarded as well.
In 2017-2018, the organization's 9th year, there are 3,500 children (ages 9-16) participating in The Equalizer's programs throughout Israel, in about 220 elementary, middle and high schools between the Golan Heights and Eilat. The players include both boys and girls, secular and religious, Jews, Arabs, Bedouins, Druze, and Israel natives alongside new immigrants. It is a spectacular human tapestry created through the values of sport and tolerance.
