Israel and the Palestinian Territories: Volunteer English Teaching and Work Experience

Israel and the Palestinian Territories: Volunteer English Teaching and Work Experience

Projects Abroad is offering volunteers the unique opportunity to teach in Jewish and Arab schools in Jerusalem municipality or in one of the only schools in the world that offers co-education to both Jewish and Arab children learning side by side. Be part of moulding the new generation of Jews and Muslims, so that they can grow up without prejudice or fear of each other and live in a land without conflict and hostility.

We work in partnership with the Hand in Hand school in Jerusalem. Here volunteers assist with teaching English and other subjects. Volunteers can also help with music lessons, sports classes and activities like library reading time.

The school hours are from 8am - 4pm Sunday to Thursday and the schools are closed on Fridays and Saturdays. The children are aged from 3 to 15 years old.

All volunteers on our Teaching programme can also participate in some extra Care, Sports or Community based work. Throughout the year we have various additional Care, Sports and Community Projects available in and around Jerusalem. These projects include:

• Educational play with young kids in the underprivileged Ethiopian community
• Renovation of religious sites and archaeological digs
• Football coaching in community centres
• Working with handicapped children
