More than your average Israel program.

I participated with Otzma 19 and had an amazing 10 months. The variety of experiences and people you are exposed to are incredible. We worked with Ethiopian immigrants, volunteered in schools and community services, and interned at different agencies. Throughout the year, Otzma organizes incredible trips and hikes all over the country and they also have access to different leaders/speakers/presentations that you would never be exposed to on any other program. I was really able to explore and learn about parts of the country that I would otherwise never be exposed to on a tourist vacation or other educational program. The program really tries to be well-rounded to accommodate everyone's interests and needs.

In addition to the experiences and learning opportunities, I made some of my best friends in life on this program. It really is a life changing 10-months that you will never forget.

If you are interested in traveling and volunteering after college, this program is a must.
