In our polarized world, Seeds of Peace is bringing people together. For nearly 30 years, Seeds of Peace has sought out, trained, and supported new generations of leaders in communities divided by conflict, based on a firm belief that young people are the best hope for a better future.
Through Camp in Maine and regional programs, Seeds of Peace connects youth from opposite sides of conflict through a research-tested dialogue and leadership development model. Best known for our Israeli-Palestinian programs, Seeds of Peace now works with teenagers across the Middle East and South Asia, as well as the United States, where programs address the growing racial, religious, and political divides in our own country.
Seeds of Peace has a powerful alumni community of more than 8,000 leaders who are working across all sectors of society to transform conflict and build a more just and inclusive world.
“I chose this charity for my Mitzvah project because I think that all people should get along with each other no matter their race, religion, sexual orientation, or any other difference they may have from one another. Right now, with the war in Ukraine, all the increase in antisemitism and racial discrimination, it seems like an important time to be supporting an organization that promotes the understanding and coexistence of our differences. Our differences are what make us all special and Seeds of Peace helps people see those special qualities in others that they may never have had the opportunity to see otherwise.”
