Shayna Slotar

I’m a dedicated and experienced Social Worker. I always knew I wanted to be a Social Worker and find so much meaning in helping others. I proudly graduated from UNSW in 2012 and have worked for JewishCare NSW for a decade as a caseworker in Youth Wellbeing, and more recently as manager of the team. I feel fortunate to be a Social Worker within our community. I’m a passionate Zionist, my love for Israel led me to live in Tel Aviv for a year in 2017. My passion for Israel also steered my philanthropic journey and I volunteer with WIZO NSW as co-Chair of their youngest group, WIZO Chai, and am a shadow board member. I was also recently appointed the role of representing young WIZO members on the WIZO Australia Federal Board as the AVIV representative. Two years ago, I co-founded my giving circle “The Kindness Circle” with a phenomenal group of women, focussed on giving within the NSW Jewish and secular communities. I’m passionate about supporting people through difficult times and helping to build a strong and resilient Jewish Community here in Sydney, and in Israel, for now and future generations to come. My passion for Social Work and my love for Israel marry perfectly, driving my professional and philanthropic roles. When I am not working or volunteering, I am either with my beautiful family, my incredible friends, doing something crafty or planning my next trip to Israel!
