What volunteers say

Keren, volunteer at the Pardes Katz youth center

Already on my first day as a volunteer I felt an immense sense of purpose and over time I realized that these few hours every week are so meaningful. As soon as I entered the youth center, the pupils give me warm hugs and smiles when they see me. The sense of warmth and smell of lunch only add to the feeling of home at the youth center and during the lessons when I teach the pupils, I also learn a lot myself and about myself. I never realized how big an impact volunteering can have and how important it can be

Dor, volunteer at Ofakim

Coming to the youth center every week is fulfilling and gives you strength (especially as a student). The fact that the pupils and instructors look forward to my arrival makes me so happy, being able to bring the best out of the pupils and just having fun simply warms the heart. In addition, the staff at the youth center, the instructors, and the manager contribute to the positive atmosphere and joy at the youth center.

Nadav, volunteer at the Tel Aviv restaurant

I am supposed to distribute food but in practice it’s much more. I talk to the homeless individuals, ask how they are and see whether I can help with anything. I think it is very meaningful.

Shir, volunteer at the Tel Aviv restaurant

Lasova family, how amazing that the Friday night meal routine is back. It was exciting and incredible to give and get hugs and love from the diners and the volunteers. You have so much love to give, thank you for everything!

Information for students

Lasova is a recognized and approved placement for volunteers for scholarship hours or credits.

We work with most of the scholarship and educational institutions in Israel, but if you encountered somewhere we do not appear, we would be happy to send the relevant approvals to qualify as an approved placement

How can you get placed?
You may register to volunteer and note that you are a student. The volunteer acceptance process depends on the framework and is the same for a student or an individual volunteer.

Who do I contact?

The manager of every volunteer framework is responsible for accepting the student, guidance and professional training, and reporting monthly hours at the end of each month to Lasova’s National Volunteer Director.

We work with the Tribu app. As soon as you start volunteering, please check with the manager where you will volunteer that you are registered in the system. You will receive an SMS asking you to download the app in order to register your hours of attendance.

At the end of each month, the manager will approve your monthly hours in the app and the information will be forwarded to the scholarship program according to the agreement with them (or by Lasova’s Volunteer Director or by you).
Please ensure that there are no errors when you submit your hours at the end of the month.

There is also a WhatsApp group for students according to Lasova’s specific activities. The group is for important updates, notifications, etc.
