The National Council for Volunterism in Israel, Israel’s umbrella organization for organizations using volunteers, has set itself the goal of unifying the issues linked to volunteer work into a standard, defined, and professional code.
Applying and assimilating this code as an ethical manifesto among the country’s organizations using volunteers is central to the Council’s vision. This manifesto weaves the many separate threads into a whole which will then serve to position volunteering as a worthy human resource, that will provide positive and vital social activism, based on a common language dedicated to both professionalism and sensitivity.
