WHAT WE DO
Tomorrow's Women's foundational programs reach and train young women across Israel, Palestine, and the U.S., so they can become leaders in their communities and
create lasting change.
Our foundational programs reach and train young women across Israel, Palestine & the United States.
Futures Lab
The Futures Lab is Tomorrow's Women's newest initiative: a five-month experience that helps alumni move from leadership development into civic action, culminating with a summit in Northern Ireland.
​
Participants—half Palestinian, half Jewish Israeli—will come together for a series of intensives that build from local to international. They'll first gather for a binational leadership retreat in Beit Jala focused on the history of peace building, polarization, and negotiation, and take part in a virtual storytelling and public speaking masterclass. Participants will then travel to Northern Ireland for a six-day summit alongside global women advocates for peace, including those involved in crafting and sustaining the Good Friday Agreements.
​
Future Labs graduates will leave with new skills, a deepened cross-community network, and the confidence to run for office, launch initiatives, and model co-resistance wherever they lead.

An immersive, 6-month leadership experience where young Israeli and Palestinian women come together for transformational dialogue sessions, leadership skills-building, creative and therapeutic workshops, and compassionate listening training with peers from the "other side."
Opportunities include:
​

Professionally facilitated dialogues with peers from the “other side” of the conflict

Training in leadership, media, and communication

Art therapy and creative healing

This summer, the Teen Leadership Program for Palestinian & Israeli young women is 7/10-24 in Geneva, Switzerland, against the backdrop of historic neutrality and diplomacy, in partnership with Coexistences.
​
Advanced Leadership Initiative

Israeli and Palestinian alumni of our Teen Leadership Program move on to more targeted programs and advanced leadership and diplomacy skills-strengthening as they enter their university years and begin careers. Whether they are sharing stories of coexistence with audiences on speaking and educational tours throughout the U.S. and abroad, designing social action projects, or leading dialogue circles with the “other side,” Tomorrow's Women alumni are galvanized changemakers with the tools, confidence, and vision to shift the landscape around them.

U.S. Peace Ambassadors Program
(15-18 years )
Each spring, high school-aged young women in New Mexico receive our signature foundational training in compassionate listening, Middle East conflict narratives, peer-to-peer conflict resolution, and storytelling. Peace Ambassadors also engage with their peers in Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza and the program culminates with a community project designed and led by Peace Ambassadors.
​
Young Israeli and Palestinian Women Reclaim Peace Project
An 18-month transformative leadership program empowering 60 Tomorrow's Women alumni in Palestine and Israel to become agents of peace in their divided communities.
Through trauma healing retreats, specialized skills training (Arabic/Hebrew language acquisition, dialogue facilitation certification, or digital media for activism), and community engagement through dialogue circles, these determined young women will develop the tools to bridge divides and create lasting change.
Originally developed with and funded by USAID, our contract was canceled in February 2025 before this program could begin. We successfully fundraised $100,365 through a generous $50,000 match that was unlocked by our devoted community of small donors. Thanks to this incredible show of support, we're able to move forward with meaningful programming on the ground in Palestine/Israel in 2025. As we continue building toward our full vision for robust programming this year, these initial funds provide a strong foundation as we work toward supporting all 60 participants we had originally planned to serve in 2025.
