In order to strengthen the social fabric of the
Israeli society, ORT Israel encourages every student to volunteer within their
community and motivates every ORT graduate to contribute to Israeli
society.
Education Towards Values
ORT
Israel
does not compromise
on the quality of achievements or the spirit of giving.
For ORT Israel, education is more than just academic achievement.
It means involvement in the school, in the community and in the general
framework of society and the country. It instills values in our youth to achieve
greater understanding and empathy, leading to a greater social solidarity, which
is essential for our survival.
The systematic and organized teaching of the value of
contributing to the fellowman and the community is promoted through the
network’s program “ORT Youth for the Community.”
Responsibility, tolerance, sensitivity, involvement
and coexistence are values that commit students to all aspects of community
life. From providing assistance to the elderly and families in need to tutoring
younger students and volunteering as mentors to children suffering from cancer,
ORT Israel successfully seeks to contribute to the community.
