Gap Year Programs in Tel Aviv,Israel

Join us in Israel and provide humanitarian aid by lending a helping hand to the underprivileged of Tel Aviv- Yafo and Jerusalem areas. As a volunteer here, you will assist in much-needed food preparation, packaging and distribution. The Tel Aviv center was established in association with the Municipality of Tel Aviv’s Welfare Department and has been running for 25 years, operated mainly by volunteers. It was established to help put a stop to food insecurity by distributing hundreds of food packages to the homes of poor families and provides lunches to 1000 schoolchildren all over Tel Aviv- Yafo. Ther Jerusalem location works with the Israeli Ministry of Agriculture to distribute 3,000 food baskets each week in 30 different cities.

Israel offers plenty of historical sites, beaches and hiking trails, and is home to the famous Red Sea and Dead Sea! The coral reefs along Isreal's shores are recognised as one of the best diving locations in the world! In Tel Aviv you can discover a modern city and party hotspot that never sleeps, as a contrast to one of the most ancient cities in the world: Jerusalem. There are plenty of opportunities to volunteer: from working in the desert, in the sea, or within much-needed community projects.
