Seeds of Peace

Introduction
What began in 1993 as a camp program with 46 Israeli, Palestinian and Egyptian teenagers has expanded into a global operation with offices in over ten cities around the world and nearly 4,000 young leaders working for peace, whom we call ‘Seeds.’ Fifteen years of conflict resolution programming has produced an impressive cadre of Seeds working in international affairs, politics, business, medicine, nonprofit and media. Headquartered in New York City, Seeds of Peace has offices in Amman, Cairo, Gaza, Jerusalem, Kabul, Lahore, Mumbai, Otisfield, Ramallah, and Tel Aviv.

"Let us avoid our egoism and put aside what happened in the past. Let us try to open a new page with the people who we consider our enemies and attempt to stop the violence and look for a resolution, not for us, but for the sake of the new generations."
