| "I learned a lot about myself and about Israeli society through my experience as a volunteer. Today, volunteering is a central facet of my self-identity....IsraCorps encourages you to get out there and do something – and gives you the confidence that you can make a difference." (Liraz, a third-year volunteer from Acre in IsraCorps)
This was the most significant year of my life. I learned so much from everyone that I worked with and volunteering gave me an opportunity to step outside the bubble that I grew up in. (Yuval, an IsraCorps volunteer in Tiberias)
