Israel - Desert Wildlife Program

I had an amazing time volunteering with wildlife in Israel. It's a completely unique environment and the staff running the project were very friendly and welcoming. The work was never boring and the animals are very well cared for (as are the volunteers). It was a very comfortable, relaxed and friendly atmosphere, and the staff made sure we got to experience life outside of the project as well. I'd recommend it to anyone, not only for the volunteer work but also as an opportunity to see Israel and have a very unique experience.

Everyone on the GoEco team was very responsive and easy to communicate with. From start to finish, this group was very helpful, as well as the other workers within the shelter. I would definitely do another program if the opportunity presents itself.

I had such an incredible time working at the Desert Wildlife Program in the desert of Israel this past summer, and I would absolutely go back to volunteer again. This volunteer program is really unique because it gave me the opportunity to be exposed to extremely exotic animals and aid in their recovery, or general housekeeping of their environments. You can tell that these animals are deeply cared for and this is reflected in the way the rangers and other volunteers interact with the animals at the reserve. This is a special volunteering opportunity because while at times the reserve may feel secluded, you are surrounded by so much and by incredibly compassionate and kind people. Not to mention all the lovely animals being cared for at the reserve. The living accommodations were really nice, as we lived in a volunteer house on the reserve and I felt totally immersed in my environment. This was a life changing experience working at the wildlife center, and one that has helped me develop so many skills that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
