Pittsburgh Jewish Federation Volunteer Trip
Join Yael Adventures and Birthright Israel for a meaningful volunteer trip in Israel this year.
Now is the time to stand with Israel and offer hands-on support when it’s needed most. Whether its agricultural volunteering, packing food and supplies for displaced families, or rebuilding local community centers, your impact will be felt in communities across the country.
This volunteer program is available for participants ages 22-40, regardless of prior Israel program experience. Organized by Yael Adventures, this unique volunteer program connects you with Jews from your community as well as local Israelis who will volunteer alongside you — all while making a real difference during such a critical time in Israel's history.
