Kibbutz Volunteer Program (Israel / KPC)

kibbutzvolunteers.org.il

Pays you

Amount varies

No program fee from KPC. Volunteer must purchase mandatory health insurance (cost not specified but estimated ~$1–3/day for young volunteers). Must obtain a B-4 volunteer visa from Israeli consulate before arrival — requires FBI background check with apostille (significant administrative cost and lead time). Flights to Israel approximately $800–$1,500. Pocket money ~$180/month (NIS 650 per KPC registration page). Important: ongoing security situation in Israel; evaluate current travel advisories before committing. US State Department advises exercising caution in Israel and Gaza region. The 2024–2025 conflict has significantly reduced program capacity.

The Kibbutz Program Center places international volunteers aged 18–35 on ~9 participating kibbutzim for 10-week to 12-month stays. Work in agriculture, kitchens, laundry, communal services ~8.5 hrs/day, 5 days/week. Room, board, laundry, and monthly pocket money (~NIS 650 ≈ $180 USD) provided.
