Meitarim Lachish is a mixed Mechina (pre-army academy) of religious and secular students located at three centers: Kibbutz Bet Govrin and Moshav Shekef in the Lachish region, and Kibbutz Nahal Oz in area bordering on the Gaza Strip. The Mechina combines in-depth study of identity, Judaism, Zionism, Israeli society, philosophy, drama, and many trips to become closely acquainted with our country. EAPC helped fund the renovation of a building for the Mechina clubroom.
