Volunteer program

While volunteering is not a requirement of students who study at the International School, we strongly encourage all students to participate. Volunteering allows the student to meet and develop close connections with Israelis and to understand more about many of the social problems affecting Israel. This experience also provides the student with an opportunity to leave their mark in Israel before returning to their home country. Transportation to volunteer placements within Haifa is the responsibility of the student.
