22.01.2022 Wow! Our enrollments opened today and we’ve been SLAMMED! Only 15 spots left in our 2021 face to face giving program Twelve & Thirteen (we strongly encourage you to sign up now via our website to avoid disappointment), and unlimited spots available in our new digital volunteering program, The Giving Channel. Both programs have an early bird pricing, all the details are now online. Sign up now or find out more about giving opportunities for bat and bar mitzvah families for 2021 at www.twelvethirteen.org.
21.01.2022 We love the message of this story. A school gave out balloons to every student, who had to inflate it, write their name on it and throw it in the hallway. The teachers then mixed all the balloons.... The students were given 5 minutes to find their own balloon. Despite a hectic search, no one found their own balloon. At that point the teachers told the students to take the first balloon that they found and hand it to the person whose name was written on it. Within 5 minutes everyone had their own balloon. The professors said to the students: These balloons are like happiness. We will never find it if everyone is looking for their own. But if we care about other people's happiness... we'll find ours too." At times like these, we’re reminded that in order to move forward, we have to make choices and take actions that affect those around us, as much as they affect us. We ARE all in this together.
21.01.2022 For anyone wanting to listen to the Shofar today, this incredible movement of volunteers and organizations in our community is bringing Rosh Hashanah to you!
19.01.2022 It was a Closing Ceremony like no other, as our program participants celebrated their year of stepping up as young adults. We proudly honoured their many small actions which collectively left a big and meaningful footprint in our community. Our cohort was inspired by a presentation by Twelve & Thirteen alumni Alex and Charley Cowen @ParachuteforKids, who shared their vision of creating positive change beyond the program. We were also ultra lucky to meet @michaelburrowsmusic c...reator of #whatweneedtodo campaign who also shared much wisdom with our teens. To top it off, we were treated to a live performance of Michael’s song from his latest EP ’Brightest Star’ to aptly recognise our brightest stars who have made a difference to others whilst simultaneously facing the toughest year of their lives. Hearts full - black graduation hats were donned and glasses raised to toast our teens - mazel tov!
17.01.2022 Throwback to our Does Radiation Make You Radioactive? digital volunteer session with @Koala Kids. After discovering more about the experience of kids receiving cancer treatment, our eager-to-help teens couldn’t wait to spend time researching what they would like to donate to help to put smiles on the faces of young patients. Check out the awesome collection of items selected!
14.01.2022 A message from Founder and Co-Chair, Moran Dvir. After six intensely rewarding (and busy) years, I’ll soon be stepping down as Co-Chair and retiring from the Board of Twelve & Thirteen. It’s time the organisation benefits from new leadership, as every Board needs to every few years. I leave with a full heart, a strong sense of accomplishment, and most of all, incredible gratitude for the people I have worked alongside with since day 1. Nothing happens on its own, and while t...Continue reading

13.01.2022 You can never spread too much kindness around. Our recent Keep an open heart digital volunteer session with Save A Child's Heart gave our participants the privilege of a virtual tour at a hospice in Israel and hearing about the experience of kids undergoing life saving heart surgery. Our compassionate participants immediately jumped in to create beautiful drawings to spread joy to these young patients. What do you think of this joyful collection of heartfelt artwork?

11.01.2022 We're excited to kick off our 2021 campaign with next week's 2021 Information Night for interested families. Join us next week (RSVP below) and find out how bar and bat mitzvah families can make a difference at a click or in person. We’ve taken our popular, one of a kind volunteering program Twelve & Thirteen - to a new level with the addition of The Giving Channel to create two ways to give including welcoming families from interstate and overseas. ... The Giving Channel engages families online, while Twelve & Thirteen will provide its classic, face to face volunteering experiences in small groups. Both programs will provide meaningful, unique opportunities for bar and bat mitzvah families to help people in need. Fees for both programs have been significantly subsidised to maintain affordability (and payment plans will also be available). Together, our children will continue to grow through giving. Your family can make a difference. You choose how. RSVP below (and please share with other families that may be interested). https://docs.google.com//1FAIpQLSfbYJekdA7Q4cdMf5/viewform
11.01.2022 A throwback to our last outdoor session with Helping Hoops. Lockdown has not meant that their important work has stopped and they are still shooting for the stars. It won’t stop us either. Come along to the upcoming It hasn’t all been fun & games session with them this Sunday 18 October at 2:30pm to discover more about the experience of young people living in social housing. We will play some ball games online and learn first hand how playing sport can be a mechanism for everyone to feel as if they belong, learn skills to make ourselves more resilient both on and off the court.
