Welcome to Oranim's Kibbutz Programs
Oranim's Kibbutz Ulpan, Volunteering or Internship program offers you the perfect combination of programming for your 4 or 5 months in Israel. While on the program, you will study the language of the Sabras through intense Hebrew Ulpan courses. In addition, you will choose to volunteer or have an internship on the Kibbutz and/or surrounding communities. Many of our volunteer work focuses on education, where the volunteers will serve as teacher's aids, tutors, etc. You will be exposed to life in Israel by living among its citizens, volunteering and working together strengthening your ties with the country and its people. You are not a tourist, you're family!
Kibbutz Ulpan, Volunteering or Internship is currently offered on three different kibbutzim. Each program varries from the other and offers a different focus on volunteering in Israel. Click on one of the kibbutzim below to learn more!
