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.

The deadline for applying for our 2010 summer programs has now passed. Please check back this fall for applications and information for summer 2011.
Looking for a unique summer opportunity? Interested in international relations and conflict resolution? Love working with teenagers and want the chance to change the life of a young person … or your own? Join the staff at the Seeds of Peace International Camp!
The Camp hires summer staff in two main capacities, Counselors and Facilitators.
Counselors at Seeds of Peace live in the bunks with the campers, instruct activities, and supervise the daily operations of camp life. We are looking for staff aged 20 and above who are energetic, enthusiastic, enjoy camp life, and have skills they can share with campers. Being a counselor at Seeds of Peace requires a love for youth, the ability to work as a team player, and the desire to foster a neutral, empowering, and peaceful environment.

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.
