In addition to learning assistance, the year-in-service volunteers are involved 4 hours a week in social activities in each of the schools. Through this involvement, the year-in-service volunteers meet children from all age groups and become part of the day to day school life. The activities are in various arenas; in most of the schools the volunteers accompany the student body and help them with special projects they initiate. Also, the volunteers run social activity classes in a variety of topics. They assist the students with school and community initiatives such as the school newspaper or volunteering in the local kindergartens. And of course the volunteers are an inseparable part of the organization and execution of key events in the school: end of year celebrations, Jerusalem Day, holidays, ceremonies and Memorial Day events.
