Mission: Tomorrow's Women trains young Palestinian and Israeli women to partner as leaders by breaking down barriers of anger and prejudice, facilitating friendships, and inspiring action to promote peace.
Programs: Tomorrow's Women is the only organization simultaneously working with young Palestinian and Israeli women on collaborative leadership and peacemaking. Since 2003, more than 300 young women have participated in our program. They are 15-30 year-olds of Muslim, Christian, Jewish, and other backgrounds from Israel, the west bank, and Gaza. The entry point of our work is an intensive summer program in Santa Fe, New Mexico that uses therapeutic art and compassionate dialogue to introduce the story of the "other", foster understanding, friendship, and partnership, teach communication and self-awareness, and encourage advocacy for peace. Each year, 16 young women attending our summer camp experience powerful transformations from anger to compassion and pain to hope. Our work continues year-round in Israel and Palestine with workshops, seminars, small gatherings of girls by language and location, and follow-up meetings for specific camp years. Camper-graduates are expected to participate in our young leader training which takes place throughout the year and focuses on the development of emotional and practical skills for leadership and peacemaking. An advanced leadership program offers social-change projects of their choosing. More than 60 young women are training as young leaders, giving public talks in the United States and Israel/Palestine, working as junior counselors in our summer program, and participating as workshop leaders and in other capacities with our organization. In 2015 we initiated a pilot project to teach inclusive discourse and other peacemaking skills to young Israeli and Palestinian women in the early stages of careers in politics. This project is funded by USAID. We award a limited number of academic scholarships to young women in our program who have financial need and demonstrate extraordinary leadership. Our programs have had a significant impact on Americans as well, educating them about the conflict in the middle east and what they can do to contribute to peace. Thousands of people learned of our work through media appearances and talks in schools, universities, churches, synagogues, and community organizations. Young leaders facilitate workshops on transforming conflict for high school girls in New Mexico. Approximately 150 people volunteer with our organization year-round. Several hundred businesses and individuals contribute in-kind goods and services. Our young women are influencing others through presentations about their peacemaking work in the army, their communities, and in national and international venues, such as the united nations.
