Community Involvement Gap Track is an affordable program, intended for mature, highly independent high-school graduates - individuals seeking the opportunity to contribute to Israeli society in a meaningful manner. Community Involvement Gap Track offers you an incredible opportunity to spend 5 meaningful months immersed in Israeli society as a functioning member of the community. You will be exposed to life in Israel by living among its citizens and working together, strengthening your ties with the country and its people.
Our volunteers play a key role in the lives of many Israelis; Gap Track volunteers are able see and feel the impact they have within the community. Program coordinators work one-on-one with each participant to determine his or her passions and talents. After careful consideration and collaboration with community leaders, Gap Track volunteers are placed within the community. By paying close attention to the individual desires of participants as well as the needs of the community, each volunteer is able to maximize his/her potential within the community, creating rewarding and enriching experiences memories that will last a lifetime.
Community Involvement Gap Track differs from the standard Community Involvement Program in that it is geared specifically toward recent high-school graduates and is only available to participants aged 18-19 (the standard program is only available to participants aged 20-30). Participants in the Gap Track will enjoy a comprehensive tuition package including international flights and meal stipend, as well as college-dormitory level supervision. Gap Track participants will attend all program activities alongside the older participants, but will live in their own apartment community.
