Event description

Description

Our b’nei mitzvah program broadens awareness of a wide-range of social issues and provides hands-on volunteering opportunities for our families to give back. It’s flexible, fun and extremely rewarding. 

Twelve & Thirteen families participate in meaningful volunteering sessions with our charity partners.

What’s involved:

  • February:  Twelve & Thirteen Opening Workshop 
  • Monthly volunteering sessions: 2 hour sessions, once a month during the school terms (1-3)
  • September: Reflection Workshop & Closing Showcase

Examples of past collaborations with charities: 

  • Making meals for the homeless with Youth Projects
  • Packing craft kits for seriously ill children with Koala Kids
  • Playing basketball with youth from public housing with Helping Hoops
  • Packing care kits for women & children experiencing homelessness & fleeing domestic violence with Impact
  • Packing and meal deliveries for families experiencing food insecurity and social isolation with C Care
  • Designing wishes for children with critical illnesses with Make-A -Wish Australia

And so much more...

What does the program offer :

  • You'll go behind the scenes at some of Melbourne’s leading Jewish and non-Jewish charities, many of which are often closed to the public
  • A special family shared experience:  you can choose to make this journey one between father and daughter, or mother and son, or mix it up with a different family member joining sessions each time. The choice is yours.
  • Flexibility. We know every family has different commitments that can vary throughout the year. This is why we offer our Sunday volunteering sessions on both morning and afternoon
  • Opportunity to make new friends and connect with your community

Please note our Early Bird price of $495 is available until 31st Dec.

Full price is $525 from 1st January.
