In particular, if you’re a current student of humanities, political sciences or Middle Eastern studies and looking to frame your knowledge within a cultural context, this internship program in Palestine is particularly pertinent to you as you will explore the occupation in the West Bank as well as meet Palestinian civillians, local human rights activists and families who are subject to Israeli military law.

Interns can enroll for a period of 1 to 13 weeks year-round. This legal internship program in Palestine aims to provide a full understanding of the legislation applicable to the West Bank and Gaza.

3. Internship In The West Bank Program

Internship In The West Bank Program offers international participants the chance to immerse themselves in Palestinian culture and daily life, as well as learn about human rights, refugee situations, and politics in Hebron, West Bank. The program involves participating in a highly respected community development initiative run by Engage In Palestine. 

To facilitate a deep cultural experience, the Center organises visits to various institutions, including both Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and Palestinian governmental organisations, the United Nations Country Team (UNCT) in Palestine, Human Rights Defenders, Hebron Municipality, Palestinian families, Masafer Yata, Susya, the old city of Hebron, and Palestinian refugee camps in Hebron, West Bank.

The Teach English and Study Arabic in Palestine Program is an immersive initiative tailored for students, native and non-native English speakers, recent graduates, professionals, and retirees who are eager to engage in meaningful teaching experiences across the West Bank, Palestine, Israel, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and the wider Arabic-speaking region. The program provides a rare opportunity to live in Hebron, one of Palestine’s most historic and culturally rich cities, where participants can connect with people from diverse backgrounds while actively contributing to the local community.

As a volunteer, you will play a vital role in teaching English to Palestinian children, youth, and community members, helping to expand their educational opportunities and global connections.

At Engage in Palestine, we welcome people regardless of their views on the situation between Israel and Palestine.

We encourage the center’s reporting to be fair and unbiased, to tell the stories of the people who live in Hebron and the center’s work. Whereas media coverage of Israel and Palestine focuses on the ongoing conflict and relationship between the parties, writing articles from the center will allow you to experience and recount the experiences and everyday life of residents and communities. International communication is essential for many Palestinians who want to feel connected to and recognized by the global community.
