The program will teach English to Palestinian youth served by the Youth Development Resource Centers (YDRCs) in Hebron, Nablus, and Ramallah/El-Bireh. AMIDEAST will upgrade the English language proficiency of an estimated 900 youth by the conclusion of this 11-month program, including high school students, college students, students about to enter the workforce, and working youth. AMIDEAST proposes to not only train Palestinian youth served by the YDRCs, but also to build capacity within the YDRC network and the Palestinian community as a whole to deliver English training by providing fresh graduates from English Language programs at Palestinian universities with training in the field of Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL), who will then teach English at the YDRCs.
