5-Month Immersive

5-Month Immersive: Live. Work. Learn.

Dates: 
September 20, 2022 - February 7, 2023
The 5-Month Immersive is a framework for meaningful volunteer work with educational, community, and human rights organizations, doing grassroots work with Palestinians and Israelis in and around Jerusalem. Participants volunteer in individualized placements, while traveling extensively, and learning with leaders in the field. Together, we build a dynamic learning community in which we explore and shape Jewish culture, identity, and activism as individuals and as part of a greater whole. 

Achvat Amim focuses on developing practical skills in community building, organizing, and education through immersive volunteer projects and engaging with social change and human rights movements. We engage with the challenging realities on the ground in Israel-Palestine and the West Bank and take an active role in building on our rich history and traditions. 

Achvat Amim combines participatory learning, outdoor experiences, seminars, and trips around the country with work on real projects with leading human rights and community organizations.
