Volunteering on a kibbutz is definitely not for everyone. You work hard, live in very basic rooms, earn a pittance and have no privacy. However, year after year travellers head to Israel to volunteer on a kibbutz and have the time of their lives.
Jonno Edgerton is one such volunteer. He says “I saw my time on the kibbutz as a way to immerse myself in the Israeli culture and I was extremely glad I made it a part of my world travels”.
If you are considering a stint in a kibbutz as part of your world travels, then you should read Jonno Edgerton’s ‘The Kibbutz Volunteer’. This guide is written from first-hand experience and will answer all your questions about volunteering on a kibbutz. It also offers tips, hints and information on being a kibbutz volunteer and very importantly the guide provides a list of kibbutz offices so you can find a position.
