Dror Israel

Hundreds of teens in Carmiel and Rishon LeTzion recently took part in employment fairs organized by NOAL and Dror Israel, aimed at helping young people prepare for their first summer jobs.

Alongside opportunities to connect with local employers and prepare for job interviews, participants learned about their rights as workers, including fair wages, legal protections, and what to do if those rights are violated. Employers participating in the fairs committed to upholding these standards and providing fair working conditions for young employees.

For many teens, a summer job is their first experience in the workforce. By helping them understand their rights and connect with responsible employers, we are working to prevent exploitation and empower the next generation to enter the workplace with dignity and confidence.

After the murder of 21 year old Yemanu Zelka last month, participants from NOAL’s Hahoresh branch in Petah Tikva organized a rally against violence together with the municipality.

At a time of rising youth violence and deep social strain across Israel, these teenagers chose not to stay silent. Holding signs reading “The Change Starts With Us” and “We Are All Brothers,” they gathered to mourn, speak out, and call for a different reality.
