Want to volunteer? Here's exactly how it works -- from expressing interest to showing up on base.
A Base Day is when our team of volunteer holistic practitioners travels together to an IDF base in northern Israel. We set up a full healing center -- each specialty in their own dedicated space -- and soldiers rotate through 20-minute treatment sessions throughout the day.
Most soldiers receive 3-5 different therapies in a single Base Day. The environment is intentionally calm and healing-focused. Base Days run Monday through Thursday. Equipment and transportation are provided by Chayal's Angels.
Start by filling out our contact form to let us know you'd like to volunteer. Tell us your specialty and a bit about your background.
You'll receive a welcome email including a link to our Volunteer Intake Form, an overview of what Base Days look like, and what to wear, bring, and prepare.
After submitting the intake form, our team reviews your info. Israel-based volunteers are added to our WhatsApp group immediately. International volunteers are added 2 weeks before their arrival.
When a new Base Day is announced in the WhatsApp group, simply reply to confirm. No complicated scheduling -- just a quick confirmation.
2-3 days before your confirmed Base Day, you'll be added to a one-time WhatsApp group for ride coordination, final instructions, and any last questions.
Get a good night's rest. We depart together as a team and end the day with a group reflection before heading home.
All volunteers gather at our centralized meeting point. We depart together, following the Chayal's Angels car to ensure everyone arrives safely.
Each specialty is provided a dedicated space. We enhance the atmosphere with candles, music, and a calming environment to help soldiers relax before treatments begin.
The Base Day leader introduces all volunteers and explains how the day will flow -- allowing soldiers to fully relax and trust the process.
The Base Day leader conducts an individual intake with each soldier to help our practitioners know exactly what they need to work on.
Soldiers rotate through 20-minute sessions, receiving care tailored to their needs. Most soldiers receive 3-5 therapies during the day.
We take time to reflect on the impact of our work, integrate the day's experiences, and head home for some well-deserved rest.
