Educators

Each summer, delegations of Seeds—high-school age campers—and their Delegation Leaders (DLs) arrive together at the Seeds of Peace Camp.

In 2019, Delegation Leaders included a wide range of American, Egyptian, Indian, Israeli, Jordanian, Pakistani, and Palestinian educators and community leaders; in past years, Delegation Leaders have also included individuals from India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Cyprus, the Balkans, Tunisia, Morocco and Yemen.

At the Camp, DLs share responsibility for the Seeds and are representatives of the parents and the home communities. They play a crucial role in the overall Camp dynamics. At the same time, Delegation Leaders participate in a separate transformative educational experience as part of the “DL program, which includes an intense dialogue process, educational workshops, cultural activities, a variety of off camp trips, and day-to-day life as part of a unique cross-cultural community.

The successful DL will be: trustworthy and responsible with a proven record or considerable promise as an educator; able and ready to treat members of the Camp community of all ages with respect; committed to full participation and open to learning.

To accept a position as a Seeds of Peace Delegation Leader is to accept a substantial responsibility. It is also a unique and potentially wonderful opportunity.

We are in the process of evaluating what Camp programs we will offer in the summer of 2020. Please fill out this form if you would like to stay up to date with program details and dates:
