Twelve Bat Mitzvah and Thirteen Bar Mitzvah is a unique family volunteering b’nei mitzvah program. We’re here to GIVE.
Good deeds: Twelve and Thirteen is about tzedakah - doing good deeds for those less fortunate. It’s about growing gratitude and empathy and creating unique family experiences. We don’t “drop off to do good”. We connect, learn and grow - together.
Impact: Twelve and Thirteen provides direct support to people in need, partnering with some of Melbourne’s most dynamic charities.
Variety: Our programs bring together Jewish families from all walks of life, increasing awareness of a range of social justice issues by partnering with diverse Jewish and non Jewish charity partners. From youth homelessness and food insecurity, to domestic violence, period poverty, sick and vulnerable children and seniors experiencing isolation or loneliness.
Experiential: We know the best way to learn is to do. Through our unique volunteering experiences, our families go behind the scenes of our charity partners. Over 9 months, our families spend 2 hours, once a month, learning about a different charity and participating in an impact activity. It’s hands on. It’s rewarding. It makes a difference.
