Volunteer Abroad this Summer!


JANUARY 2012

This summer GoEco is hosting an exciting opportunity to teach children from different religious backgrounds in a fun, outdoor camp in beautiful Northern Israel. This is the second year GoEco, together with local Jewish and Arab partner organizations, is running this groundbreaking program for children and volunteers of all backgrounds. These camps aim to promote peace and coexistence alongside arts, sports, and environmental education. This is a wonderful opportunity to gain international volunteer experience, become immersed in a mix of foreign cultures, and leave a lasting positive impact on the lives of children.


Mughar, located in northern Israel and overlooking the Sea of Galilee, is a diverse town with a long and rich history. This camp gives children from each of these 3 religious groups (Druze, Christian and Muslim) a chance to learn together and play together for a unique summer program. Join a group of local staff and international volunteers to teach environmental education, arts, sports, and English.

These camps are located in the Druze city of Yanuh-Jat, nestled in the rolling hills of the Upper Galilee region of Israel. The first session focuses on arts, sports, and a general good time for the kids, while the English camp gives the campers, who are year-round students of English, an opportunity to enhance their education and strengthen their comprehension by interacting with volunteer leaders.

Programs Include:
Home-stay accommodations with a local family
Three meals per day
Exciting orientation in Jerusalem
Full pre-departure & in-country assistance, training, and support

Volunteer Feedback
Sylvie, a GoEco volunteer at the Multicultural Eco Summer camp in 2011, wrote a post on our volunteer blog about her experience in Mughar. Here's an excerpt:
"It was the best project I have ever participated in. I enjoyed the time spent with the kids and the other volunteers in the summer camp. It was nice to see that by the end they were able to have short conversations with us and that they were trying to communicate and tell us their stories. It was moving how proudly they introduced us to their parents and how they loved and cared for their siblings.”
