Subsidized Training
Mission Kida covers the majority of training costs so financial barriers never stand in the way
Why This Matters Right Now
Antisemitic incidents have surged 400 percent since 2020. Nearly three out of four Jewish students report harassment or discrimination.
Threats are no longer limited to campuses. Jewish teens and young adults also face hostility in public spaces and online.
Security responses are reactive, and policy change takes years. Self-defense training gives people immediate, practical tools to stay safe today.
