Hands on
Our aim is to serve people in a practical way and do good. In our missions, we will actively help and support people in need. In doing so, we put our own needs aside in order to help others in need. Your hands will be a blessing for them!
Ears open
Actions speak louder than words! You will demonstrate through your actions what it means to care! In addition to providing practical assistance, we are committed to listening to people. Many Israelis feel abandoned by others around the world. We aim to stand alongside Israel.
Do good
Your commitment brings positive changes, strengthens the community, and enables valuable personal experiences. Together, we create a better future for the people in Israel.

Info
All the little details
You can be part of our volunteering projects as soon as you are 18 years old. It is also important that you are physically and mentally fit. We require a high degree of independence, thinking for yourself and contributing to the team. The work can vary; agricultural work, tidying up, cleaning and renovating houses, gardening, housekeeping, cleaning, catering and much more. It is important to us that you have an open and serving attitude, even if a job is not so much fun. The accommodation will be simple and functional.
We will send you an information video including the code of conduct before an assignment. We expect you to watch the video carefully. You are responsible for obtaining the ETA-IL entry permit yourself. More on this under “Arrival and entry”.
Participating on a volunteering project costs approx. CHF 900.- (from Switzerland) / € 900.- (from Germany + Europe). This is a guide price. More detailed information will follow for the individual assignments.
The assignment fee includes
- Board and lodging
- Simple accommodation in shared rooms
- Material required for the mission
- Travel insurance for Israel (organized by us)
- Possible transfers during the assignment (not included are arrival and return transfers)
- Married couples receive a discount: 10% for the second person
Not included in the assignment fee
- Arrival and return journey and visa costs (more information under “Arrival and entry”)
- Transfer from/to the airport
- Personal expenses
- We recommend budgeting US $ 100.00 for personal expenses.
The assignment fee must be paid at least one week before the start of the assignment. We will send you a corresponding invoice in good time
Participation in the aid mission is at your own risk. We accept no liability for accidents, illness, damage or loss. Nevertheless, please check whether your travel and accident insurance provides you with sufficient cover during your assignment. Also check whether your health insurance includes exclusions for stays in Israel. This is an additional measure. As participants, we form a community of purpose during this assignment in order to carry out the tasks on site together. With a valid entry permit, you can stay in Israel for up to 3 months.
You book your flight to Israel yourself. You are also responsible for traveling independently from the airport to our meeting point and back again at the end of the project.
The meeting point will be in the greater Tel Aviv area, e.g. a hostel. From there, we will organize joint transport for each team to the places of assignment. For the trip to Israel, citizens of Switzerland, Germany and Austria need a passport that is valid for 6 months after your return journey. Citizens of other countries should check with their embassy. As a tourist you can stay in Israel for 90 days. From July 2024, stricter entry requirements will apply for Israel. All travelers must have an ETA-IL permit before starting their journey. You can find all further information, including how to apply, here.
We will sleep in simple accommodation with shared rooms. Prepare yourself mentally for simple beds without much luxury.
Every volunteering project is unique. We will help and serve. The activities are varied and include agricultural work, cleaning, house keeping, renovation work, garden maintenance, catering, distribution of relief supplies and much more. It is important to us that you have an open minded and serving attitude – even for tasks that may not always be fun.
We start our first mission in Kibbutz Hanita. This kibbutz is located directly on the border with Lebanon. We carry out our missions in this unique environment. Hanita is not only a place with a rich history, but also a community that needs support and encouragement. Through our work on the ground, we provide practical help – be it in agriculture, construction projects or supporting families and community projects. At the same time, we want to show appreciation for the people here and show them that they are not alone. Hanita has experienced particularly difficult times in recent years due to its proximity to the Lebanese border. We will also lend a practical hand in other places from Hanita.
We conclude each mission together as a group to share what we have experienced and clarify any unanswered questions! It is also a “debriefing of the mission”. Of course, our aim is for you to go home as an “ambassador” for Israel.
