Volunteer Projects in Palestine: At the Excellence Center in Palestine, there is a wide range of volunteer projects for internationals to participate in. Engaging in volunteer projects while abroad are meaningful ways to travel.
Rather than exploring a new country or city with a large tour group that will only travel to the top touristic sites, participating in a volunteer project overseas allows travelers to see the host country or city in a new light, as well as make a contribution with their time.

Former Volunteers experience in Hebron
Our volunteer projects in Palestine also offer internationals with the chance to be creative with their teaching approaches and methods. For instance, Susan and Diana, volunteers from the United States, conducted workshops on health during their time in Palestine.
Both Susan and Diana were pre-medical students and were eager to involve their passion for health into their volunteer program. In terms of creativity, the two girls decided to film a short video on tips for healthy living and share it with their workshop attendees. Lin, from the United States, is another volunteer who participated in our volunteer music program.
