THE PROGRAM

The Mental Health and Resilience Initiative, funded by the U.S. Office of Palestinian Affairs, is a 45-hour training that targets students between 14 – 17 years old, who are interested in improving their psychological and mental well-being and are interested in drama, arts, culture, and/or sports activities. This training will equip participants with effective life skills and knowledge through techniques that will help them learn how to represent their inner experiences and develop an awareness of self needs.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM 

The Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study (YES) program provides scholarships for high school students to study for one academic year in the United States. YES students live with a host family, attend an American high school, acquire leadership skills, and engage in activities to learn about U.S. society and values; they also help educate Americans about their home country and culture. The program supports students with disabilities and encourages their participation.

Implemented in partnership with USAID and the Palestinian Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MoEHE), the Leadership and Teacher Development (LTD) Program was guided by the MoEHE’s priority to invest in Palestinian schools and improve classroom instruction. By 2018, it had introduced innovative approaches to school leadership and professional development that significantly improved learning among 150,000 students in grades five through 10 in 454 schools across the West Bank.
