“Our work continues year-round in israel and palestine with workshops, seminars, small gatherings of girls by language and location, and follow-up meetings for specific camp years. Camper-graduates are expected to participate in our young leader training which takes place throughout the year and focuses on the development of emotional and practical skills for leadership and peacemaking. In year two, leaders execute social-change projects of their choosing. More than 60 young women are training as young leaders, giving public talks in the united states and israel/palestine, working as junior counselors in our summer program, and participating as workshop leaders and in other capacities with our organization. In 2015 we initiated a pilot project to teach inclusive discourse and other peace making skills to young israeli and palestinian women in the early stages of careers in politics. This project is funded by us aid. Creativity for peace also awards a limited number of academic scholarships to young women in our program who have financial need and demonstrate extraordinary leadership. In 2016 three of our participants attending universities in palestine and the united states received scholarships. Our programs have had a significant impact on americans as well, educating them about the conflict in the middle east and what they can do to contribute to peace. In 2016 thousands of people learned of our work through some 25 media appearances and talks in schools, universities, churches, synagogues, and community organizations. Young leaders facilitated a workshop on transforming conflict for high school girls in new mexico. Approximately 150 people volunteer with our organization year-round. Several hundred businesses and individuals contribute in-kind goods and services. Our young women are influencing others through presentations about their peacemaking work in the army, their communities, and in national and international venues, such as the united nations.”
