Volunteer with Us
Volunteers are the heart of our organization. All of ARDC’s projects are supported by dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers―helping transform our vision for the refugee and asylum seeker community in Israel into a reality.
There are countless volunteering opportunities, as described below, depending upon the number of hours per week. In general, we request a 10-week commitment for volunteers, though arrangements can be made for special projects. If there is a particular position you are interested in, please complete the volunteer form, including your CV.
