Who are our members?

Whatever phase of womanhood you may be in:
Baruch hab'a – welcome home.

Why become a member?

If you want to be a part of a sorority, a sisterhood, a club, a family, a network of inspiring women, or even if you just want a girl's night out – Na'amat Canada has what you are looking for. Not only are we here to support Israel, but our members are also here to support each other. Here's what some of our current members have to say about why they joined a local Na'amat chapter:

• "My mother is a member and I want to continue the tradition"

• "I'm new to the city and I'm looking to make some friends"

• "I want to be involved in giving back to the community and helping Israel"

• "I loved going to Na'amat events and I wanted to help out"

• "I wanted to make a connection with other women like me"

What do our members do?

Once you have officially become a member, you will be invited to join a local Na'amat Canada chapter of women with whom you may share commonalities. Chapters typically meet once a month at a member's home. In this social setting, members may take part in a program such as a guest speaker; games night; craft project; cooking class; makeover night or whatever the group decides to plan. Chapters will also take on fundraising projects such as bingo, raffle, concert, luncheon, etc… where the members plan and execute an event to raise money to support Na'amat social services in Israel. We encourage our members to be enthusiastic leaders within the community, but you can take on whatever role you are comfortable with: a National Board member, a project chairperson, a chapter president, a committee rep, a “worker bee”, or simply a loyal participant.

All Na'amat Canada members in good standing receive the national newsletter, Na'amat Notes, which is sent out twice a year. Members also have access to the Members Only section of this website. Please consult your local City/Council President or staff member to receive your login name and password.
