The Volunteer Unit , Tel Aviv Jaffa Municipality

We recruit volunteers for many volunteer programs. Close to 5,000 volunteers are volunteering in either short or long-term projects associated with the Municipality, many of whom are young adults aged 18-40. We work with high school students, youth movements, university students, young professionals and other individuals who work in the private sector and with many not-for-profit organizations. Our aim is to further assist Tel-Aviv-Yafo residents who receive professional or other aid from the Welfare , Health and Human Services Administration. Volunteer interventions encompass a wide range of diverse populations: Infants with disabilities, neglected children, youth at risk, the elderly, single parent families, drug addicts, the homeless, the vision impaired, and others. The Volunteer Unit conducts training courses tailored to our volunteers' needs , preparing them to better perform their respective tasks. We also provide long and short-term supervision, based on the nature of the particular volunteer assignment.
