Gap Year Program
Kedma's Gap-Year Program operates across three different regions in Israel, providing critical support to communities in dire need of agricultural labor and educational services. Our volunteers, all Highschool graduates who are looking to make a real impact in the time they have before joining the IDF, work with these communities to make sure they get the support they deserve. Each community has its own dedicated staff member in charge of liaising with the local administrative authorities as well as the Israeli Ministry of Defense to ensure these remarkable volunteers get the opportunity to give more to Israeli society and take away important life lessons that will enrich their service in the Israeli Defense Force.
