Welcome to the Seeds of Peace Israeli Core Leadership Program!
The Israeli Core Leadership Program will include leadership skills training, basic social justice dialogue, studies of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and community work.
Once you complete the regional Core Leadership Program, you’ll become a member of the Seeds of Peace’s Junior Seeds community and could take part in the advanced programs through your high school years. The advanced programs will include uninational (for Israeli participants), binational (for both Israelis and Palestinians), and multinational (for participants from all the regions in which we work) programs throughout the years, including summer programs and professional trainings.
Is this program for you?
Seeds of Peace is looking for young people who wish to know more about different realities existing in their region and seek to change injustices and lead for a more inclusive society.
We are looking for ambitious teenagers with leadership potential, who are strongly aware and politically curious about the different dynamics within the Israeli society and wish to learn about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from a wide range of identities, stories, and backgrounds.
We are looking for courageous young changemakers who would seek to challenge themselves and their perspective, engage in tough dialogue experience with the people most different from them, and wish to proactively build solidarity across lines of difference.
