Volunteer

How to get involved?

Tevel provides a diverse array of service learning opportunities that have grown organically from our beginnings which were deeply rooted in volunteerism. Tevel offers a multitude of volunteer opportunities for individuals seeking to make a meaningful impact. These opportunities allow volunteers to contribute to the holistic development of communities while gaining valuable insights and experiences in the fields of agriculture, education, health, and more. Tevel’s volunteer programs provide a platform to engage, learn, and make a positive difference in the world.

Volunteer Programs

Volunteer with Tevel Summer ’26

Join Tevel for a post–high school/army volunteer program that weaves together Jewish learning, global social justice, environmental responsibility, and the relationships between them. Participants will spend time in our project village in Mphande, Zambia, engaging in meaningful, hands-on work. The program launches in summer 2026.

Main service areas: Research, Public Health, Sustainable Agriculture

Location: Zambia

Logistics and Costs

Accommodation, food transportation and programming are all planned by Tevel staff and with support of our local partners.

Participants share rural living arrangements within small co-ed groups. Costs include international flight, accommodation, ground transportation, food and educational programming.

Application process

We aim to provide impact for our community partners, and at the same time create a safe and enriching experience for our participants. Tevel will be selecting participants for our programs through a short but comprehensive application process. We seek participants who are eager to contribute but also prepared to learn and develop through the experience. Please note that acceptance to the program is conditioned on full participation in the selection process, proof of purchase of air travel and payment of participation fees.

Service Areas

Tevel offers a wide range of service areas from youth empowerment to business training, financial literacy lessons, or English lessons. Tevel will further work to incorporate your specific area of expertise into your service learning experience.
