The ideal mentor is generally a retired or semi-retired individual with an hour to spare in the morning, but we happily welcome anyone who is available to make the weekly commitment.
In addition to the growing group of committed mentors of all ages, Israel Connect also reaches out to senior centres to provide them with this wonderful interaction. Through technical training, Israel Connect allows even less mobile people to connect weekly with a student, enhancing their lives with a fun and meaningful virtual visit while enabling them to contribute. It has been proven time and time again that consistent human interactions can greatly impact the quality of life of the aged, and our students are in a position to have a tremendously positive impact. A real win-win situation!
