This document summarizes a meetup for an organization called Data For Good that uses data to address social issues in Israel. It introduces five current projects, including detecting hate speech on Twitter and creating a map of volunteering opportunities in Tel Aviv. For the hate speech project, labeled Twitter data has been collected and cleaned, and the next steps are modeling and website creation. For the volunteering map, most relevant websites have been identified and the next steps are scraping and merging the data and developing a website. Information is also provided on how to join projects and begin contributing.
