Additional funding, up to a complete subsidy, is available upon demonstration of need. Program highlights include: • Shabbat experience in Jerusalem • Shabbat/weekend in Tel Aviv • Trips to the Galilee, Arava and Eilat • Zionism and Jewish Identity Workshops
About Ayalim: Ayalim brings young adult volunteers to the weakened north and south of Israel to
be a powerful and positive force for change. For the past five years, these student volunteers
have been assisting children, young people and weak population segments in the Negev and the
Galilee. These areas have suffered in the past from low priority on the public agenda, and as a
result, many difficulties have arisen in the fields of education, welfare, image, environmental
development and settlement. Ayalim volunteers are committed to giving their time to helping
build the vil ages; improving the surroundings; working at the family center, which houses social,
educational and cultural activities; and volunteering in schools around the village. For more
information about Ayalim, please see ayalim.org.il/en.
