Why did you choose to volunteer with ENP?
I admire ENP's goals and methods, and wanted to further my own experience in non-profits and education while interning for an organization I believe in.
What do you do for ENP?
I do background research on North American educational efforts that are similar to ENP and am helping to develop an English enrichment program that will pair Israeli and American students in order to improve English skills and develop intercultural knowledge and ties.
What do you like to do when you are not volunteering?
I spend my free time reading, singing, cooking, and attempting to keep up with my favorite TV shows in the States (there are just way too many good ones now).
What do you love about Israel?
The flourishing of many different and multi-faceted Jewish cultures.
What did you want to be when you were a child?
A veterinarian, because I thought I would get to hang out with dogs all day.
