Terms & Conditions

Neither Volunteers for Israel nor any co-sponsor is liable or responsible for injury or damage directly or indirectly to persons or property in connection with any transportation, accommodations, tour program, other services, or resulting from a breakdown in machinery or equipment, acts of government or other authorities, wars, terrorism, civil disturbances, strikes, thefts, delays, cancellations or changes in itinerary, or from any other causes beyond the control of Volunteers for Israel, its principals, or any other co-sponsor.

Volunteers for Israel reserves the right to accept or reject any person as a member of the program. Proselytizing will result in immediate dismissal from the program. Upon the decision of the program staff in Israel, possession and/or use of alcohol or illegal drugs, or refusal to abide by the regulations of the work site, may also result in dismissal from the program.

Participants are required to provide their own health and accident insurance valid in Israel for the duration of their time on the program. Volunteers should review their coverage, and if it does not cover their stay in Israel, short-term coverage should be purchased. In view of statutory or contractual limitations which apply to travel problems or property damage losses, we recommend the purchase of trip and baggage insurance. (VFI offers an insurance option with an Israeli insurance company that has some very attractive options for volunteers. Additional information can be obtained on our web site or by contacting VFI at 212-643-4848 or 866-514-1948.)
