What Parents Say About Masa Volunteers - Yahel - Haifa
“Yahel Haifa placed me in a program supporting refugees and stateless communities in Kiryat Haim. I ran English and tech classes for people who'd lost everything. It was the most meaningful service I've ever done — in Israel or anywhere. Israel Prepaid's Bronze Plan funded the whole experience.”
“I came to Haifa knowing almost nothing about Israeli social issues. Yahel gave me full immersion — volunteering at a youth center, working with immigrant families, and living in the community itself. I left with a much richer understanding of Israel. My parents' Bronze Plan had it covered.”
