Ever thought of teaching English in Palestine? Or helping Egyptian schoolchildren develop their inner artist? You can! Middle East Fellowship helps match volunteers with NGOs, nonprofits and churches throughout the Middle East.
Our "peak season" for volunteerism is during the summer when students, teachers and many others are available for two to four months to spend overseas. We have two programs in the summer for volunteers seeking to serve in the Middle East for a month or more:
Palestine Summer Encounter
The "Summer Encounter" program is a 1 to 3 month volunteer opportunity in Bethlehem, Palestine. Participants study Arabic, live with a local family and work side-by-side with local schools, churches and nonprofts. Click here to read more...
Damascus Encounter
We are currently exploring the possibility of doing a 9-week summer service learning program in Syria for 2007. Stay tuned for more information.
Long Term Service (1 year or more)
Do you feel called to serve in the Middle East for a year or more? Please contact us for more information about possible long-term internships. You may want to consider using one of our summer programs as your "crash course" to help prepare you for your year of service. Send e-mail inquiries to: travel@middleeastfellowship.org
