Question 1

Can anyone be a mentor?

Accepted Answer

We are looking for positive, smiling, optimistic, and nice people that think they can be a older, stable and meaningful role model for children or youth.Think you fit? Leave details and we will be in touch with you very soon, so that we can start the selection and training process.​

Question 2

I work full-time and want to combine volunteering with the association, is this possible?

Accepted Answer

Probably! Volunteering at the Israel Graduate Brother Sister Graduate Association includes a two-hour weekly meeting at the Young Brother's House. We operate nationwide and try to hold the activity as close as possible to your area of residence. We invite you to give up two episodes on Netflix and come and influence a child's life.

Question 3

Can I "choose" my mentee?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no.In the sorting process we will get to know you. from getting to know you, with consideration for special requests, we will know how to make the best pairing. We will suggest a mentee and you can decide if you want to say yes or no. It is important to take into consideration that the coordinator knows the younger brothers or sisters, and sometimes she sees things we don't see ourselves. Maybe the coordinator will suggest someone we think isn't suitable for us and will discover that is suitable. Basically, come with an open mind.

Question 4

How do I know what to do in meetings?

Accepted Answer

Each volunteer program has a coordinator who accompanies the volunteer throughout the mentoring process. The coordinator will guide and allow you to express yourself. Mentorship is what the older brother and younger brother will make of it.
We believe that personal mentoring is an opportunity to get to know new worlds and be exposed to areas of interest that you have not yet known about.

Question 5

What do I do  if the child shares something that disturbs or worries me?

Accepted Answer

We will explain this in detail during our training, but in such cases, immediately contact the branch coordinator who will help you both deal with it on a personal level and pass on the important information to the authorized person in the authorities.

Question 6

Who refers the children to you? How do you know they really need a tutor?

Accepted Answer

The children are referred to us by the social workers, or school counselors in the relevant cities, and through the various organizations we work with. We trust these factors and believe that every young brother referred by them needs us. Beyond that, we conduct a home visit in order to get to know the younger brother and his family, to make sure again that we are the right program for him.

Question 7

I can't initiate, is it possible to help in another way?

Accepted Answer

first of all thank you very much!
You can help us in several ways. We would be very happy if you could like us on Facebook, tell your friends about volunteering and encourage them to volunteer with us.
Of course, you can join the circle for good and circle for the benefit of the Israel Graduate Sisters Association (A.R.).
Also, you can contribute to the programs of the Boger.T Sisters Association and thus help us increase the activity of the association and support more and more young brothers.
