Yahel Together is a 6-week volunteer program offering its participants the opportunity to support and experience the immense resilience of Israeli civil society while living in the mixed and multicultural city of Haifa.
Following the events of October 7th, 2023 we have and continue to see an incomparable response from an incredibly resilient society. Locals have come together to ensure those in need have access to food, clothing, and necessary services. Social initiatives and organizations have pivoted their work to support and offer their particular skill sets, and many local partnerships between different population groups have strengthened despite rising tensions.
Participants of this program will immerse themselves in the local landscape in multiple ways;
Three days a week you will volunteer individually with local initiatives, and the city welfare system such as youth centers, NGOs, non-profit organizations, social enterprises, and government institutions focused on shared society and community-action work. The remaining two days of the week, participants will undertake volunteer projects as a group in and around Haifa as well as further away. These days could be with evacuees, in agriculture, cleaning out shelters, and more.
