Give Your Heart, Be Truly There

There is something special about volunteering. Sometimes it means an hour a week, a shared activity, help with homework, or simply being another person a child can count on. For a child or young person, that presence can turn into a meaningful moment – and sometimes into so much more.

We invite you to join our community of volunteers and become part of life in the children’s villages – places where children and young people grow, develop and build their futures in a safe, supportive and nurturing environment.

There are many ways to volunteer, depending on your time, abilities and interests: spending time with the children, taking part in enrichment activities, offering professional support, or sharing the knowledge and experience you bring with you.

Choose your own way to be there. Because when you give your time, your presence and your heart – something good begins to happen.

To volunteer at one of our villages, please call:

Nardim (Arad) 08-9956888 or Megadim (Migdal HaEmek) 04-6049000

Volunteering opportunities are subject to the needs of the organization and the options available at any given time.

Pre-Army Service Year

Finished high school and looking for a year that’s different? A year filled with purpose, meaningful experiences, making a difference, and being part of something bigger?

At SOS Children’s Villages Megadim (Migdal HaEmek) and Nardim (Arad), you’ll join a close-knit group, become part of village life, and make a real difference in the lives of the children — while making new friends, taking on new challenges, and creating memories that will stay with you long after the year is over.

We’re waiting for you for a meaningful year full of good people, real impact, and plenty of opportunities to be yourself.

Adopt a Transitional Apartment

In each of the 16 Bridge to Independence apartments throughout the country, there are six young men and women who receive a rooftop and professional assistance and guidance in all aspects of transitioning to adult life. However, sometimes they miss the warm and loving touch of home. You can prepare a Shabbat dinner, minor repairs, family movie nights, and more.

Individuals and groups who want to take this task on are welcome to contact us.

We are here to brainstorm and plan together, mainly to show that the bridge is much less narrow when your heart is wide open.

Handy workers and Professionals

Construction workers, renovators, and handy individuals, teachers with a big heart – the door to our family is always open.

Whether you want to take part in renovating or upgrading buildings and spaces, teach, or offer an innovative and exciting idea – we are here to make the opportunity as meaningful as possible.

Donate Equipment

Our villages and transition apartments serve as warm and loving homes. And just like any other home, they require furniture, appliances, towels, school supplies, and more.

If you are interested in donating new equipment, we would be delighted to hear from you.

Come in Groups

Looking for a volunteering opportunity for your company? IDF unit? Look no further!

Groups of volunteers help with our many activities throughout the year. Groups help us with projects like painting the nurseries, gardening, packing, and more. It’s a terrific opportunity for a formative group experience.
