Krembo Wings
Krembo Wings is Israel’s leading inclusive youth movement for children and teens with and without disabilities.
Founded in 2002, Krembo Wings creates life-changing social connections for young people from every part of Israeli society —Jewish, Arab, Christian, Bedouin, Druze, religious, secular, and everything in between.
Through inclusive weekly activities, camps, leadership programs, and community events, we empower children and teens of all abilities to build leadership skills, form meaningful friendships, gain confidence, and experience true belonging. At the same time, thousands of siblings, families, and volunteers become part of a growing community committed to inclusion, empathy, and shared responsibility. Today, Krembo Wings serves approximately 7,000 participants each year across 85 branches throughout Israel.

Our Commitment
Leading Social Change
Krembo Wings is a youth movement for children and youth with and without disabilities. Yes, we are a youth movement in every sense of the word, and members of the movement do not view their activity as “volunteer work”, but as an experiential social activity – for themselves and for others.
Conducting Socio-Educational Activities
Our members convene weekly informal social-educational activities in the evenings, based on the model of personal counseling in a group environment. Most of our counselors are youth who study in mainstream schools. The joint activities promote awareness of populations with disabilities and of social inclusion.
Creating a Meaningful Place for Everyone
We believe that all children, regardless of their capabilities, ethnicity, religion, or gender share a common need – they all want and need to experience social belonging, and every child deserves joyful time spent with friends.
Commitment to Full Accessibility
We are committed to providing a fully accessible venue for our activities. We provide accessible transportation for members from their homes to the venue and back in vehicles geared for people with disabilities, supervised and accompanied by a Krembo Wings member. We provide nursing services by trained nursing professionals who assist members with their intimate needs during our activities.
