Mitzvah Corps Israel is an opportunity for teens to travel with friends from across North America through the land and 4,000 years of history of Israel while participating in meaningful direct service projects, volunteering and learning as teens integrate Tikkun Olam into the secular community of Israel.

Our program combines direct hands-on involvement in communities that need the energy, dedication and love that youth provide with programs based on Jewish social and ethical issues. Teens are given the opportunity to make a difference and experience a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment that comes only with helping others. Projects may include working in communities of need, with new immigrants, special needs children, the elderly and visiting the sick. Upon completion you will receive a certificate for up to 100 hours of community service.

Mitzvah Corps Israel will weave the NFTY Adventure four-week Israel itinerary into a comprehensive educational and direct service program to give the maximum experience in Israel. This once-in-a-lifetime experience created especially for teens who seek a meaningful journey in Israel focused on Tikkun Olam, filled with amazing memories and friendships that will last a lifetime. From ancient Jerusalem to modern Tel Aviv, from the beautiful Galilee to the stunning Negev Desert, you will become part of an intense Jewish community of teens travelling from all over North America.
