Are you an aspiring young leader? Want to support our work and get your voice heard?

Children of Peace welcomes young Israeli and Palestinian peace activists, aged between 13 and 19 years - based in Gaza, Israel, Jordan, and the West Bank. They should wish to actively participate in the work of Children of Peace, engage in decision making and inspire other young people, while helping to develop leadership and communication skills. Youth Ambassadors participate as volunteers for up to five years. The Youth Ambassador scheme also welcomes young peace activists in the USA and UK to assist in building our Regional Councils in UK counties and American states.

Youth Ambassadors undertake roles that include speaking to a range of audiences, including fellow students at your school, college or university, supporting outreach and programme delivery and contributing their views to influence local communities, government and civil society whilst also helping to reach out to other young people.

Is it for me?

If you support the principles of Children of Peace and are aged 13 - 19 and currently reside in Gaza, Israel or the West Bank you can apply. You must be in education, training, volunteering or employment (including running your own business). You must be able to speak reasonable English and Arabic or Hebrew. You will be required to contribute to online articles, discussions and be familiar with social media such as Facebook and Twitter. We look for role models who will inspire other young people through sharing their personal journey.

Your first point of contact will be to Mahmoud Jabari at the Youth Ambassador Directorate at yaprogramme@childrenofpeace.org.uk

• develop leadership and communication skills
