Volunteer at ACLAÍ Palestine
We launched our international volunteer program in 2022 as a way to give coaches and trainers who work in the fields of strength and conditioning, yoga, martial arts, circus, personal training and other movement based disciplines the opportunity to visit Palestine and be a part of our coaching team in ACLAÍ Palestine. Volunteering at ACLAÍ Palestine is a great opportunity to make a positive contribution to the work that is ongoing in the Lajee Centre, to learn more about Palestine, and experience what life is like under occupation at the Aida camp. To apply to our volunteer program please fill in the application form below and we will be in touch with you as soon as possible.
