Volunteer in Israel with the country’s national rescue organization, Magen David Adom. Experience life as a first responder and work on ambulances throughout Israel! MDA works with the organization, Israel Experience to expand volunteers’ social and cultural perspectives by working alongside Israelis and experiencing Israel from the inside. Participants have the opportunity to learn about emergency medicine in Israel while volunteering on ambulances in the city of their choice. Volunteers complete eight-hour ambulance shifts fostering bonds with their fellow paramedics. The knowledge gained throughout this experience is invaluable.

In order to participate in MDA’s overseas volunteer program, you must be between the ages of 18 and 30 years old. The program costs differ depending on the level of training desired.
