Yeoded is an organization that provides individualized support for children who are growing up without a father due to divorce or loss. It pairs each child with a male mentor or tutor who takes an active role in their life, offering both educational and emotional support. These mentors are selected to serve as consistent, positive male figures in the child’s life, helping them feel more equal to their peers and supported in both limudei kodesh and day-to-day experiences.

The services include learning assistance such as reviewing gemara, farhering children on their studies, and helping them prepare for schoolwork. Mentors also accompany children to shul and father-child programs like Avos Ubonim. In some cases, mentors attend PTA meetings on behalf of the father and provide ongoing emotional support through conversation and presence. The organization works closely with rabbeim and menahalim in yeshivos to ensure the child’s needs are met in a coordinated and respectful manner.

Yeoded maintains a registration system for both children in need of support and volunteers who wish to be matched as mentors. It also facilitates donor involvement to help fund these services. The program is endorsed by respected rabbinic figures and has been embraced by multiple mosdos in the community.
