There are many opportunities for service and community volunteerism in Israel — from helping to feed hungry citizens, to teaching and mentoring at risk-youth, from building playgrounds in disadvantaged communities to working on a kibbutz or organic farm.
Engaging in service in Israel is one of the best ways to learn about the country and experience its history and people in meaningful ways.
