Creativity for Peace is committed to a time of peace when people and nations coexist by understanding and respecting each other. Toward that end, our focus is on developing the next generation of female leaders and peacemakers in Israel and Palestine.

We nurture understanding and leadership in Palestinian and Israeli adolescent girls and women so that they aspire to and take on significant roles in their families, communities, and countries that advance peaceful coexistence.

Staff

Trained dialogue and reconciliation facilitators, professional counselors, art therapists, and professional artists staff the program. The Executive Director has 35 years experience in nonprofit management, communications, and the arts. All staff is interviewed and come highly recommended by other professionals. An extensive network of volunteers supplements and enriches the staff while minimizing expenses.

Funding

Creativity for Peace is a 501 c (3) non-profit. We are supported completely by contributions from private foundations and individuals.

Accomplishments

We have had five successful summers of camp with 98 girls participating and have evolved into a year-long program in which friendships thrive as participants create new relationships that cross religious and cultural boundaries. Nineteen past campers participate in the young leaders program, further developing their leadership skills and acting as junior counselors at Creativity for Peace’s summer camp.
