Volunteer in Israel: For keen volunteers who have worked in Israel, Excellence Centre offers a great opportunity to get to know the ancient city of Hebron and the rich surrounding terrain, from the archeological park of Mamre to the vineyards of Halhoul.

Centre Manager, Marwa Shantir said, ‘We have hosted a lot of people who have volunteered previously in Israel. Volunteers who have been working in Israel are often interested in getting to know Palestine and to experience the historical and cultural richness of Hebron’, he said.

Volunteer in Israel

Sara, 23, from the UK, who volunteered in Israel before coming to the Excellence Centre said, ‘I chose to volunteer in Jerusalem for the historical and cultural significance of the place. After hearing what Hebron offered, I decided to stay in the region an extra week to visit. After an incredible trip to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem whilst volunteering in Israel’, she said, ‘I couldn’t resist the opportunity to see Hebron’.

Hebron is not only one of the oldest cities in the world

Hebron is not only one of the oldest cities in the world, but also one of the Four Holy Cities for Muslims and the Second most important city in Judaism. Home of the Cave of the Patriarchs (the burial site of the Matriarchs and Patriarchs), the ancient Ibrahimi Mosque, and Haram-al-Rama, the ancient city boasts a hefty handful of unmissable sights.

Apart from a sure way of getting a taste of famous Palestinian hospitality through an inevitable invitation to tea, getting lost in Hebron’s labyrinthine streets is also a good way of starting to unravel the city’s long history. With a quick scan of Wikipedia, Hebron reveals in its present shape, a rich tapestry of the great historical epochs that have shaped it.

Volunteering in Palestine

Volunteering in Palestine is a great way to participate in the ongoing development of the Palestinian community in the West Bank, and also to boost personal skills and experience. Individual voluntary positions often offer participants a wide variety of experiences, and organizations are commonly keen to hear from volunteers about any particular skills they can offer, from employability skills training to academic writing.

Participating in local educational and social events and activities is a great way for young volunteers to boost their communication skills, confidence and sense of independence, as well as to learn about the culture and everyday life of Palestinians.

Hebron’s Excellence Center has hosted over 150 internationals from twenty-seven countries and has established a reputation for quality language teaching both in English for locals, and for internationals in Fusha and Palestinian dialect.
