Volunteer Programs in Jerusalem, Israel

Be part of this unique school that believes in giving troubled youth a second chance. The school consists of 100 students and 70 teachers and also has a vast amount of resources such as a library, computer lab, carpentry workshop, music and art room, as well as a few farm animals! Students have their regular school courses, but also participate in other projects where they are given freedom and responsibility to express their true character. One of the main projects is working in the plant nursery. Volunteers will be mainly assisting in the plant nursery and it should be noted that volunteers do not need any previous horticulture knowledge. You will have the opportunity to interact with the students and mentor them, but it will be in an informal manner and the relationships you build will be from an organic process.

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.
