Israeli NGOs Seek Volunteers Nationwide for Autism Support, Youth Enrichment, and Animal Care
Several Israeli non-profit organizations are currently recruiting volunteers across the country to support various social and community programs. In the northern city of Kiryat Shmona, the "Good Spirit" association, part of the Arison Group, connects volunteers with thousands of NGOs and local authorities to promote volunteering nationwide. The "Together All the Way" association offers mentorship programs for discharged soldiers transitioning to civilian life, requiring volunteers to meet weekly and participate in evening group sessions.
In Kiryat Shmona, the "Community Centers Company" seeks volunteers aged 14 and above to assist autistic students in after-school programs with activities such as storytelling, crafts, and individual support. In the Sharon region, the "Love on Four" association in Moshav Herut calls for volunteers over 18, preferably with dog care experience, to walk rescued dogs.
In central Israel, the "Neot HaMoshava" geriatric center in Ness Ziona looks for volunteers to lead musical and singing activities for elderly residents. In Jerusalem, the "Home for Every Child" association, active since 1975, invites volunteers to run enrichment clubs for at-risk youth, offering activities like sports, arts, life skills, and dog training.
In the south, the "Yaara Place to Grow" association in Moshav Kedron, which operates a therapeutic community food forest, seeks groups of volunteers aged 18 and over for agricultural work such as planting, watering, and nursery maintenance alongside service recipients. Volunteer opportunities vary from one-time engagements to long-term commitments, with flexible scheduling across weekdays. Interested individuals can register through the respective organizations' websites.
