Israeli Nonprofits Seek Volunteers for Diverse Causes Nationwide

The Israeli nonprofit "Ruch Tova," part of the Arison Group, is coordinating a nationwide call for volunteers across various organizations. The initiative aims to connect individuals and corporate volunteers with entities needing assistance, working with thousands of charities and local authorities to promote volunteerism.

In the North, the "Ach Gadol" association is recruiting professional coaches aged 35 and over for its "Ach LaDerech" project. This program offers coaching to released lone soldiers, helping them set and achieve personal and professional goals. The commitment is long-term, with weekly flexible sessions.

"Ezer Mitzion" is seeking volunteers aged 20 and up to assist in hospital cafeterias across the country, including Rambam, Carmel, HaEmek, and Poriya. Volunteers will distribute coffee and pastries in emergency rooms and hospital wards for two-hour shifts, six days a week.

In the Sharon region, the "Et La'asot" association needs volunteers aged 15-20 to lead activities for children and youth aged 5-18 with special needs, including those with physical disabilities, autism, and Down syndrome. Activities range from music and dance to cooking and art, with flexible or long-term commitments available.

The "Osim Tov" project in central Israel is looking for group volunteers for monthly community improvement initiatives in Tel Aviv, Haifa, Rishon LeZion, and Pardes Hanna. Tasks include painting, cleaning, and organizing public spaces like parks, shelters, and beaches, often on Friday mornings.

In Jerusalem, "Meir Panim" requires volunteers aged 18 and up for its soup kitchen. Responsibilities include cooking, packaging, and serving food to those facing financial hardship. This is a long-term commitment with shifts available weekdays from 8:30 AM to 2:00 PM.
