NA'AMAT, Hebrew acronym for "Movement of Working Women and Volunteers," is an organization & a movement striving to enhance the quality of life for women, children and families in Israel, the U.S. and around the world. Originally named Pioneer Women, it was founded as a sister movement to NA'AMAT Israel.

NA'AMAT women act locally, nationally and globally in 11 countries (10 sister countries in addition to Israel). We are united in belief and in action around issues ranging from religious pluralism to an improvement in the status of women at home and in the workplace, from child well-being to peace in the Middle East, from the ability of single parents and new immigrants to build a life for themselves to the end of domestic violence. We help women, and we help women help themselves.

For more than 80 years, NA'AMAT USA has had one mission: to support the women and children of Israel. To accomplish its mission, NA'AMAT--through its sister organization in Israel--provides a broad range of social services, from day care centers to domestic violence shelters; from legal aid to alternative high schools. NA'AMAT has services and facilities in communities throughout the country, from Kiryat Shemoneh in the north, to Eilat in the south. That's why we say, "Think Israel. Think NA'AMAT."
