Dialogue Facilitators

2025 Camp facilitator application open below

Seeds of Peace brings together youth from communities across divides each summer at our Camp.

During each Camp session, facilitators work intimately with a facilitation partner to plan and conduct 110-minute dialogue sessions (up to two per day, most days a week), creating a youth-led space for courageous conversations that help campers understand the diverse backgrounds, identities, and perspectives of their peers as they grapple with the root causes of conflict and injustice

Facilitators collaborate formally and informally to prepare for dialogue sessions, co-create session flow and content with the facilitation team, and provide mutual support and ongoing professional development. Dialogue is not group therapy; dialogue sessions are interactive and experiential, providing youth with opportunities to ask questions, make space for diverse voices, navigate group dynamics, build empathy, and foster transformation.

Facilitators also engage with counselors about what is happening in other areas of Camp in order to assure coordination among bunk life, athletic and arts activities, and the dialogue program, and lead certain aspects of Camp community life, such as Evening Activities and Early Bird Activities on rotation.
