Adopt a Volunteer
The Emergency Volunteer project is a unique concept. The EVP recruits and train teams of volunteers in all areas of emergency relief work to deploy to Israel when the needs of its citizens are the greatest – when they are under attack, in the aftermath of a major terrorist incident or after a national disaster.
Fully trained EVP volunteers work with Israel's Emergency Services providing immediate solutions to the many challenges facing a population under attack and forced to live in bomb shelters when normal life is just a dim memory and uncertainty is the only certainty. They work wherever the need is greatest, alongside their Israeli brothers saving lives, providing hope and showing Israel's people that they are not alone!
The task facing us is an immense one, a task demanding resources that are not available to us. All volunteers, even the most skilled and experienced, must undergo special training programs so that they can work with Israeli equipment and according to Israeli procedures.
- The EVP holds training workshops in volunteer's home communities with.
- The EVP brings volunteers for special ‘hands on’ trainings and volunteering in Israel.
- The EVP is offering an ongoing training courses via a unique on-line training academy.
Once trained, all volunteers need to be equipped with the appropriate working and protective equipment. Of necessity, this is personal equipment, stored in Israel for each volunteer to use when on a training course or actual deployment to Israel within 72 hours of being approached by Israel's Emergency Services. This is a very tight schedule and one that involves some very complicated logistics.
We are asking you to "Adopt a Volunteer" and help provide the resources that will enable them to train, to be equipped and to deploy to Israel when needed. We realize that not everybody who cares for Israel and the Jewish people can be a volunteer. However, by helping and sponsoring an EVP volunteer, you will be part of an ever-growing family of people and communities who are taking an active role in saving the lives of Jews in Israel.
When you adopt an EVP volunteer you are creating a bond between yourself, the volunteer and the people of Israel. Your contribution will allow the volunteer to save lives in Israel, will allow you to be their partner in this vital work.
Help us by helping them to help the People of Israel
