National Service with Negba
What does the service involve?
- Total immersion in the educational activities and day-to-day life of the children.
- Facilitating groups of children and teenagers, building a personal and lasting relationship with them.
- Leading activities and workshops in various areas of interest.
- Participation in special events: summer camps, outings, main events and unique initiatives (holiday ceremonies…).
The counselors in National Service work as part of a team, in coordination with Negba’s professional staff. This supportive environment encourages personal initiative and continuous learning.
Support and Training
National Service volunteers receive training before the start of their service, as well as professional guidance and personal support from the association’s team throughout the year.
The National Service in Negba is managed in partnership with the organization Bat Ami.
The National Service in Negba is a challenging, rewarding, and meaningful experience for both the volunteers and the youth. Many volunteers choose to continue for a second year at Negba.

Alongside young people performing their National Service, Negba also welcomes volunteers for a year of service, who choose to dedicate an entire year to educational and social action, guided by the values of equal opportunity, responsibility and solidarity.
These volunteers participate in the daily life of Negba: they support children and teenagers, help develop educational programs, assist with learning and lead activities. They serve as stable and significant adult role models.
Throughout the year, they work within a professional educational team, receive guidance, and develop skills in creativity, leadership, teamwork, and community engagement. For many, this year at Negba is a defining experience, combining educational commitment, social responsibility, and personal growth.
Scholarship students from academic institutions
Negba collaborates with higher education institutions. Students volunteer as part of their scholarship requirement.
Among the partners:
- Ben-Gurion University of the Negev
- Kaye College
- Sami Shamoon College of Engineering
- Hemdat HaDarom
- And other institutions
Students commit to weekly volunteer hours, taking part in academic tutoring, educational activities and the support of children and youth. They contribute their knowledge, skills and academic experience.
This partnership allows students to give their studies meaningful social engagement, while giving children the opportunity to benefit from the presence of inspiring and approachable young adults.
Volunteers from corporations or from private people.
Negba Association invites companies and organizations as well as private people to take part in volunteer activities, on a regular or occasional basis. It is possible to participate in meetings with children and youth, lead interactive workshops or initiate specific events, such as Good Deeds Day.
This engagement enables volunteers to build meaningful and tangible connections with the community, to contribute directly to the educational and emotional development of young people, as well as to enjoy a rewarding experience, both individually and collectively.
