Volunteer Programs Palestine
Love Volunteers offers short and long term programs in the Palestinian Territories’ West Bank, where volunteers have the opportunity to work with children and families in a refugee camp, assist with construction, gardening and teaching within community centres.
As the situation in the region remains unpredictable, the wellbeing of our volunteers and local partners is our highest priority.
To support everyone’s safety, all volunteers will check in with the local team each morning for updates and guidance. These briefings ensure that everyone is informed about current conditions and any precautions needed for the day. We also ask volunteers to remain mindful and exercise caution when moving around outside of their assigned project locations.
By staying connected with the local team and following their guidance, volunteers can continue contributing meaningfully while supporting a safe and responsible environment for all.
Travelers are encouraged to visit the area in the hope of integrating Palestinians with the rest of the world and to highlight the conditions in the region. Naturally, it is wise to do thorough research and learn some of the areas troubled history. For some, this region is “the cradle of civilisation”, and has an almost mystical pull. There is a wealth of history here, which is interwoven directly into today’s modern society.
Volunteers in Palestine find there is a buzz from knowing that their efforts are of immediate value and that their presence here is actually making a difference. Working with Palestinians whose contact with the outside world is limited can be life changing for both you and the local Palestinians.
Also, by volunteering in Palestine, you meet a diverse range of people under challenging and intense circumstances. To quote the old cliché, the experience “broadens your horizons”, but in a very palpable way as you start to examine your own values and pre-conceived ideas. Powerful emotions may be experienced, yet you’ll find the days fly by and are filled with distinct impressions and memorable moments.
