Since its founding in 2007, the organization has led tens of thousands of Israelis in diverse agricultural volunteering activities alongside educational activities whose pillars are the values of hard work, mutual responsibility, civic courage and love of the land. Reut has been volunteering for over 3 years, and is active in the young leadership program of the organization. She was chosen by the heads of the organization to represent the thousands of volunteers.
