		Should you be unable to work - for whatever reason - the kibbutz still has to provide in your basic needs; they won't just throw you out because you can't work (unless, for example, the reason is that you're too laddered to work half of the time).
		Should you want to leave the kibbutz for whatever reason, the KPC will be able to relocate you, whereas there will be no such thing if you do it on your own.
		Apart from that, i can imagine it's difficult to find a kibbutz, as i suspect (but this is not really based on anything, just my suspicion) that most kibbutzim will only accept volunteers that go through the KPC.
