For Gandyr Foundation, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The foundation therefore believes that collaborative and coordinated action by civil social organizations working in the same field or with the same population can lead to meaningful, important change in addition to the impact created by each of the individual organizations. Effective joint action requires a stable operational infrastructure with a long term perspective. This is why Gandyr Foundation supports intersectoral forums and views them as significant platforms for strengthening the field of young adults in Israel.

The community for youth studies was established in order to create a space for thinking together and developing the body of knowledge and practice for the youth period of life. Another aim is to discuss the characteristics of this period, to conceptualize them with reference to other periods of life (childhood/adolescence/maturity/old age), to previous historical periods, and in correspondence with other identity categories such as ethnicity, gender, physical ability/disability, status, etc. The community strives to build a network of researchers from a variety of disciplines and perspectives and to create opportunities for dialogue and joint action in the field of youth studies in Israel.
