World ORT
ORT was founded in Russia nearly 145 years ago to provide employable skills for Russia’s impoverished Jews. While the world has certainly changed since then, the organization’s aim has not; our mission remains to develop the potential of young people so they can lead fulfilling lives, pursue successful careers, and make a positive impact on the world around them.
One of the ways ORT achieves this is through our annual programs for students and teachers. We run summer schools for students, providing them with the skills and practical tools they need to succeed and contribute to their own society as well as the world at large. Teachers, meanwhile, benefit from professional development and management training and ORT also hosts innovative awards and competitions around the world to celebrate the talent among its cohort of students and staff.
