The word volunteering is in line with the worldview of the Equals Association, because at the core of things, it is about a sincere and genuine desire to give.

Yes, it is the true giving from the heart that attracts many to volunteer and give of themselves. And everyone is welcomed with open arms: those who come for a one-time or limited-time activity and those who have been volunteering for years and have essentially become part of the team. Here are some examples to illustrate. For example:

  • There is a volunteer who comes once a week to one of the vocational training centers and meets for two hours with specific rehabilitators for personal conversations.

  • At another training center, she was a volunteer for several years, regularly giving an exercise class once a week to rehabilitators.

  • There are volunteers who only come on holidays (mainly student groups, which is their free time) to do various jobs at the center.

Training centers

The training centers are essentially a network of sheltered enterprises whose goal is to pave the way for employment placement for people with mental disabilities. This is a supportive, guided, and directed employment framework designed to allow you to acquire skills and work habits in order to later integrate into the free labor market. The sheltered enterprises also offer support groups and additional complementary services that expand your employment horizons. Of course, everything is done with the guidance and support of the staff, both individually and in groups, to promote the occupational rehabilitation processes of each candidate.

Training tracks, or in simple terms - on-the-job vocational training - are actually a job placement model for people with mental disabilities that is designed to advance you through on-the-job vocational training. The service is implemented in the Shvim Association's service center factories and in workplaces in the free market, and of course includes full rehabilitation support and guidance to help you absorb and remain in the workplace for a long time. This is an innovative approach that relies on acquiring skills and specializations in the workplace in order to fulfill your current role independently or for promotion to a higher position.
