Because We Care is an innovative, volunteer-based program that gives participants the opportunity to use their own knowledge and experience to make a lasting impact on Israeli youth in 7th to 12th grade. Participants live at Hakfar Hayarok (The Green Village), a kibbutz-type youth village just north of Tel Aviv and divide their time working on the farm, teaching a subject(s) of their choice in English, studying Hebrew and more.
