Volunteer in Israel

Give back and connect during this unique time with the warm local Jewish community.

Registration is open for Winter 25/26 programs!

Your Mission Awaits

Since October 7th, Jews from across the, world regardless of affiliation or background have sought out ways to give back and lift up our brothers and sisters who have been most effected. It's this unified sense of purpose that compels us to travel to Israel and lend hands-on support where it's most needed.
