Winter Mission to Israel

December 28, 2025 – January 5, 2026
Open to ages 18-50
Program Fee: $600 (includes flight, ground transportation, medical insurance, housing and some meals)

Looking for a way to make a positive impact in 2026? Join The Associated and Birthright Israel Onward for an eight-day volunteer experience in Israel this winter. Participants will join other Baltimore community members in a transformative volunteer experience (4-6 hours per day), supporting those in Israel during the current crisis. This unique cohort experience will also offer the opportunity to volunteer for one day in Baltimore’s incredible partner city, Ashkelon. 

Ethan Harrison, a past volunteer mission participant, recalls, “I met Jewish people from other parts of the United States, Canada, South Africa, England, and Russia who all stand with Israel. They all put their jobs or other responsibilities aside to work in Israel during this time of need.” Read more about Ethan’s experience.
