What’s the mission of your community?

The program is meant to help children and the local community to engage with people from all around the world, occupation made it very hard and sometimes impossible for Palestinians to travel and get to know new people and new cultures, so we decided to invite people to our place and give the new generation a big chance to be in a global environment where everybody can share skills and help.

We need you to join us and share your skills, we want to give the next generations the tools and knowledge to help them not only achieve their dreams but to allow them to stay in their home country and help develop their communities.

Note about the volunteer work and other expectations

The Camp is held on a daily basis where you can meet and work closely with the local community: The daily schedule will be divided into a day shift and evening shift, where the day shift (usually from 10:00-16:00) includes Palestinian children and teenagers who meet with international Volunteers (Trainers) and follow a traditional summer camp program.

However, in the evening shift, the international volunteers will continue to do further activities with youth and will have more mature activities to exchange experience and get the opportunity to get involved in cultural and political discussions with locals.
