Our Work
Are you ready?
We are so excited you’re interested in learning more about becoming a Young Leader and joining us for this experience of a lifetime.
For the first time in Tomorrow’s Women’s 21 years, the summer leadership intensive will take place in Switzerland! Thanks to our partnership with Coexistences, 14 extraordinary young women, ages 15-17, from Palestine and Israel will unite to train as advocates and leaders for peace.
Here’s what you can expect:
- Engage with peers for dialogue with facilitators from Israel and Palestine
- Learn the impactful practices of compassionate listening and authentic speaking to share stories of personal experiences, emotions, and deep reflection
- Participate in creative and therapeutic art workshops focused on meaningful self-expression and healing
- Grow through leadership workshops, peacebuilding activities, and cultural exchanges
- Experience adventurous outings
The group will gather four times before heading to Switzerland together and one time afterward. Over those months, participants will strengthen their budding foundation and connections and put into practice their newly learned leadership and communication skills.
