The following is one of the most prominent websites for volunteer work in Israel. If you are able to use the site in Hebrew, you would be able to post a request for your desired opportunity. The English version of the site caters well to prospective volunteers living abroad, and also has volunteer opportunities abroad: http://www.ivolunteer.org.il/eng/ Another site that may be helpful and might raise your curiosity is: "Shatil". This organization's main purpose is "Empowerment and Training Center for Social Change Organizations in Israel". If you are interested in this type of work, you might want to check it out: http://www.shatil.org.il/sites/english

Volunteer work in Israel/Palestine
Volunteer work in Israel/Palestine?
I'm thinking of visiting Israel/Palestine during the coming summer and trying to find volunteer work that I can do there for about 2-3 weeks. However, it seems that this process has become a lot harder than I originally thought, as I am only 17. Any recommendations for volunteer work I can do as a high school student? Thank you.

For 2-3 weeks, you better take your time and think of having a nice tour instead of working
2 :
Why volunteer? just curious but why spend your entire time on a great trip working for no income? anyways if you want volunteer work you could always be an aide at an hospital or nursing home.
3 :
Volunteer work is not the issue, the issue is with which side you will volunteer.

I think that the Magen David Adom takes in volunteers that age; though, don't quote me on this. I know they are willing to take me in, but I'm 20 and a college student. Basically, it might be hard for you because it's difficult to travel there as a high school student, and basically live on your own, even if it's for a short amount of time. At least, it's perceived that way by many. Also, while many speak English, it's preferable obviously to speak Hebrew, and if you can't research opportunities in that language then it's obviously harder to find some. What I would do is contact any family or friends you might have there, if you are lucky enough, and see if they know of any opportunities that could be taken advantage of. Or, contact a synagogue, or certain churches, as they probably are aware of things and might have some connections.

I own my own business & would like to hire someone from Israel to come work for me. How can I get him a visa
I own my own business & would like to hire someone from Israel to come work for me. How can I get him a visa?
He told me that he worked at a summer camp in the USA last year - and they were able to offer him a job. This made him able to get a working visa. How can I do the same?

contact imigration, he has to apply for it from his country and get proper papers to leave the counrty.
2 :
Get him a J-1 visa. Check with the INS. A local 5 star hotel here gets people from Europe for a 1 year stay all the time.
3 :
why not just hire someone from the usa?

Contact the USCIS Office of Business Liaison, which is the office that helps employers like you through the process of hiring foreign workers. Check out the information on the USCIS website on how an employer can petition a foreign worker http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=91919c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD&vgnextchannel=91919c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD or contact this office Fax: 1-202-272-1865 Toll-free line: 1-800-357-2099 TDD: 1-800-767-1833 Post: Office of Business Liaison 6th Floor 111 Massachusetts Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20539 http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=dd2596981298d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCRD&vgnextchannel=91919c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD You will need to get him a WORK visa (not a J1 visa as the other answerer stated because J1 is just an exchange visitor visa). Work visas can be temporary such as H1/H2 (note though that quota for H1 is already filled till 2008) or employment immigration which leads to permanent residency but often requires Department of Labor certification (read: significantly longer processing time -- while H1B can be fastracked to 1-2 months, employment immigration can taken anywhere from 2-5 years depending on backlog of the state both at DOL and USCIS)
