The High School G’mach- Outreach organization is among the most vibrant student groups at school. Through the G’mach, the community is provided with assistance and support across a wide range of need areas. Large numbers of students participate in G’mach programs, and the students thus cultivate the habit and pleasure associated with giving to others. The enthusiasm is contagious, and giving thus becomes identified with friendship and fun, as well.

Among the busiest G’mach committees are: “Helping Mothers”- students go directly from school to homes of families whose mothers are overwhelmed with responsibilities and need help with their children during the early evening hours; “Special Needs Families”- students provide assistance at the homes of families with special challenges, “Visiting the Elderly”- Shabbos and after school visitations and assistance to the elderly; “Tutoring”- of younger school children; “Chai Lifeline”- assistance to families where serious illness is present. There are numerous other active committees, such as “Big Sisters”, Adopt-a-bubby, Russian Sisters, and Gevuras Yardein.

The G’mach also conducts special zedakah (charity) campaigns, both on a daily and periodic basis, to benefit the poor here and in Eretz Yisroel.

The successes of the high school G’mach leads to closer connections between the school and community and serve to teach the students the importance of reaching out to the underprivileged and the needy. Bais Yaakov High School is proud of the quality of its G’mach program and both the community and the students are its beneficiaries.
