Young leaders are former campers who have made peacemaking an integral part of their lives. Participation in this program is an opportunity to deepen communication and leadership skills through learning and practice.

The goals of the program are:

• Gaining a deeper understanding of self
• Learning skills for resiliency and self-empowerment
• Reducing prejudice and healing the trauma of war
• Practicing skills, such as leading groups and public speaking
• Putting skills to use with peacemaking organizations and projects

Young leaders receive year-round training and participate in camper gatherings and other meetings in the Mideast. Each summer a small group of young leaders works as junior counselors at camp in New Mexico.

If you are interested in participating, please review the materials in this section and contact Director, Young Leader program.
