Volunteer Mission in Israel

May 4 - 14, 2026  I  Open to all adults

Join us on a Volunteer Mission to Israel.  

Together, we'll spend eight days supporting Israeli communities through hands-on volunteer projects, while deepening our connection with Israel, its people and its culture. We will experience how the Virginia Peninsula, through our Annual Campaign and Israel Crisis Fund, is supporting Israelis through unprecedented times.  

The mission will be centered in Jerusalem and the North (including Shlomi, Jewish Peninsula's new partnership community), as well as opportunities for excursions throughout the country.  

Volunteer experiences may include: agricultural work, food distribution, rebuilding efforts and hands-on aid where it's needed most.  

Please note:
This trip will include physical activity and participants should be in good physical health to participate.
