Ruch Tova, part of the Arison Group, is presenting volunteer opportunities across Israel and matching individuals and company employees with organizations that need help. The listings include openings in several regions, with options ranging from long-term mentoring to one-time activities.
In the north, Menifa, an organization that develops educational and holistic programs for at-risk youth, is recruiting volunteers for its joint IDF program, Bechavrat Achi. It seeks former soldiers ages 30 to 55 who work in managerial roles to mentor and accompany recruits and soldiers, especially those without family support, first-generation servicemen, new immigrants, and others facing military-related or broader difficulties. The commitment is long term, once every one or two weeks, in person or sometimes by phone, with flexible timing. Also in the north, Hiburim is looking for volunteers with art skills, especially ceramics, for its day centers in Bustan HaGalil, where young people on the autism spectrum and others with disabilities participate. That role can be one-time or long term, Monday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
In the Sharon region, Hasdei Liel, founded by the friends and family of Staff Sgt. Liel Gdoni, is seeking volunteers with a car to pack and distribute food parcels to needy families in Netanya. The work is held on Thursdays in the late afternoon and evening, either as a one-off or as an ongoing commitment. Gdoni, a Givati fighter, was killed in combat against militants in Rafah, the final battle of Operation Protective Edge.
In central Israel, the Elderly Association in Petah Tikva is looking for volunteers to run activities or workshops for seniors at its center, including music, dancing, group singing, Bible and history lessons, and other subjects they know well. In Jerusalem, the nursing department at Nveh Gal old age home wants volunteers for personal companionship, games, lectures, and activities such as current affairs, literature, music, instruments, art, and singing. In the south, the Alei Moreh facility in Gedera seeks families for its Let Give and Receive project, where volunteers join residents who make clay products at the vocational center for a one-hour activity that can be repeated over the long term or done once, Sunday through Thursday, 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
