Volunteering in Israel
Many communities have been affected during these challenging times and require more assistance than ever.
The Office of Student Life can arrange volunteering opportunities for you including:
- Cooking for people in need.
- Volunteering with Israeli refugees (since the October 7th massacre and the ongoing conflict on the Northern border with Lebanon, many Israeli families have been displaced) – including English private lessons, logistics, events, etc.
- Agriculture – planting, picking, and packing Israeli crops.
- Nature – cleaning up national parks.
- Connecting with Israeli NGOs dealing with different types of volunteering.
The Office of Student Life will support you throughout the volunteering process and develop a customized volunteering program based on the student’s preferences and the organization’s needs.
For more information, don’t hesitate to contact Gal, Director of the Office of Student Life, at gallom@savion.huji.ac.il
