Decades of Expertise, A Year of Service,
A Lifetime of Impact.
For generations, service has been at the heart of Israel’s story – from the pioneers who built the land to the young adults who dedicate a year to national service. Now, a new generation is stepping forward.
What is
Shnat Sherut 50 Plus?
At a time when many Israeli communities face significant challenges, the expertise of seasoned professionals is a game-changer.
Shnat Sherut 50 Plus is the first national service model for mid-life and retired professionals, enabling them to dedicate a full year to strengthening Israel’s most vulnerable regions.
What we do.
How it works.
Why it matters.
Shnat Sherut 50 Plus mobilizes experienced professionals – educators, doctors, social workers, community builders – to bring their skills where they are needed most.
What We Do:
We place small groups of volunteers in communities that need urgent support—whether it’s rebuilding social services, strengthening education, or providing professional care.
How It Works:
Volunteers live within the communities they serve, embedding themselves into daily life and leaving behind a lasting impact.
Why It Matters:
This initiative fills critical gaps—providing specialized, long-term assistance that communities wouldn’t otherwise have access to.
Our volunteers are making a difference.
The Need is Urgent. The Impact is Immediate.
Since October 7th, communities across Israel have been left devastated and understaffed. Families are struggling. Schools are stretched thin. Healthcare centers are overwhelmed. But our volunteers are making a difference.
