Seeds of Peace

This ability to take the conflicts that tear our people apart, and make them the very thing that brings us closer together, is what makes Seeds of Peace a community that is truly like no other.

Facilitators

Facilitators at Seeds of Peace are responsible for the Camp's Coexistence Program. Their job consists of facilitating daily conflict-resolution sessions, participating in daily meetings to plan these sessions and monitoring the progress of the coexistence groups.

The ideal candidate would be dynamic, thoughtful, committed, and have experience facilitating groups of young people in conflict and have a basic knowledge of the history and culture of the conflict region with which s/he hopes to work. We especially welcome candidates who can speak one of the languages spoken in the conflict region (e.g. Arabic, Farsi, Hebrew, Hindi, Pashto, and Urdu).

Seeds of Peace is looking for a qualified team of dynamic, thoughtful, honest and committed individuals who have significant experience working with groups in conflict, enjoy working with teenagers and have a sense of humor.
