Human Resources

Volunteers and Students:

The ICRC relies mainly on volunteers and students.

Volunteers include people interested in the subject, who send reports and receive information.

Graduate students carry out focused research work in caves as part of their academic studies.

Long-Term Volunteering at the ICRC:

It is possible to volunteer for a long period at the ICRC (10 months or more), before or after military service.

The volunteer is extensively engaged in mapping, surveying and uncovering caves and underground spaces.

As part of the volunteering, the volunteer undergoes extended training by the ICRC that qualifies him or her to work in caves.

The following skills may be useful:

-Interest in, and willingness to do, strenuous and rewarding fieldwork

-Great independence

-Ability to work in a team

-Field experience

-Great interest in geological/zoological/archaeological research in caves

​

Volunteering as Part of a Service Year:

The ICRC is happy to take in volunteers for a service year, but there is currently no track through which enlistment in the IDF can be deferred.

A service-year volunteer who defers service in the IDF independently can make contact and arrange a meeting in the field for mutual acquaintance and to check suitability for the service year.
