Special Message During This Time of Conflict
A nation’s resilience shines not only in facing adversity, but in the global support it receives. In times of crisis, solidarity bridges hearts across continents.
When the fighting ends, Volun-Touring will be vital. Israel’s economy will need rebuilding, and your volunteering and tourism can make a lasting impact.
By simply showing up, you show Israelis they are not alone—we are with you. Please explore our programs, choose one that speaks to your soul, and join us in supporting Israel.
About Us
A Few Words
Volunteers for Israel’s mission is to connect English speakers to Israel through volunteer service. We achieve this goal by partnering with Israeli organizations that enable volunteers to work side-by-side with Israelis.
VFI Programs
VFI offers six unique programs to which an individual can apply for a combination of volunteering and touring in Israel for one week or more. A sixth program, VFI Private Group Volun-Touring, is tailored to fit your group’s unique style and preferences. Whether you’re a family, a corporate team, a special interest group, or from a church or synagogue, we jointly create an itinerary that resonates with you, highly customized for time, content, subject matter, depth, stated interests, etc. With the exception of Private Group Volun-Touring, all programs are offered at multiple times throughout the year.

WHAT PAST VOLUNTEERS HAVE TO SAY
VFI Mission: Feed the Soldiers, 2025:
…the image of Israeli soldiers was far from what we had seen in reports. These were kids, often younger than our own children, fighting not just for themselves, but for the entire Jewish world.
VFI Rehab Program, 2024:
My recent trip with VFI was the most rewarding experience I have had in my adult life. My journey to the Reuth Rehabilitation Hospital was totally fulfilling.
VFI Archeology Plus Rebuilding Program, 2024:
My experience volunteering with VFI at the archaeological dig in the City Of David National Park, was a dream come true! It fully exceeded my expectations in every way.
VFI Farm Program, 2024:
Why am I doing this work? Because the farmers who would usually be picking and packaging fruit are in Gaza or the North protecting all of us, both in Israel and the Diaspora.
