During Ehud Barak's tenure as Israeli Prime Minister (1999–2001), she chose not to officially hold public roles and concentrated on volunteering to help youth in distress. During this period, she began assisting the activities of the Elem Association for Youth at Risk and the establishment of several projects: Hafuch al Hafuch cafes for meetings between youth and professionals, the Supervision Patrol Project for locating at-risk youth and a project for education for proper relationships in schools. In addition, she helped organizations such as Israel Cancer Association, Israel AIDS Task force, Tel Hashomer Hospital, Rabin Medical Center and the Association for Children with Down Syndrome.
