Staffing a Birthright Israel trip with Shorashim is a great opportunity to give back. At Shorashim, we work with a number of partners; many of our staff positions are committed to employees & affiliates of these organizations.
Staffing is a priviledge & very competitive. However, we are always looking for amazing people to join our team & contribute to making each Birthright Israel experience with Shorashim successful.
Beyond these requirements, staff are responsible for participating in mandatory training sessions.
We are always happy to see our potential, former, current, & future staff recruit for Shorashim! Remember, the more people that we send to Israel, the more staff we need! Please note, however, that recruiting & staffing have no correlation.
