Magen David Adom Ambulance Volunteer Program

This excellent program, run by Magen David Adom and "Israel Experience" Inc. (IEI), brings hundreds of young Jewish people from all over the world to Israel to work side-by-side Israeli staff and volunteers on ambulances in Israel.

The program begins with a 60-hour first-aid training course; an intense ten days of learning that covers material ranging from bandaging a simple wound through CPR and mass casualty incidents. The four to six weeks that follow are dedicated to experiencing Israel in the very real sense. While riding the ambulances through the city where you are placed, you'll have the opportunity to meet the Israeli population with its wide diversity of people, its many colors, religions and beliefs. You will be working with Israelis in an Israeli environment, perfecting your Hebrew and making wonderful new friends. All while saving lives.
