About Us
Building Trust and Connection
Amanina was founded in 2014 to address a critical gap in Arab society: the significantly low rate of volunteerism (9.2% compared to 24% in Jewish society) and the lack of meaningful volunteer frameworks for Arab youth. We identified this as both a challenge and an opportunity to create social change.
Vision
We envision a thriving Arab society where volunteering is the cornerstone of social mobility, enabling individuals to overcome barriers and achieve their full potential.
Mission
Amanina fosters social mobility in Arab society through volunteering. We create quality volunteering programs for youth.
We create quality volunteering opportunities that develop personal leadership, social skills, & entrepreneurial spirit.
Through these experiences, volunteers gain vital human & social capital, enhancing their own growth & potential.
This individual-focused approach promotes social mobility & personal thriving.
