Itijah (Arabic for “direction”) is a grassroots, non-governmental organization working towards the empowerment of Palestinian youth in an entirely unique manner. Rather than focusing on individual projects, Itijah creates the space and the means through which young people can participate in various areas of activism, volunteerism and civil society. Our goal is to support young people as they contribute to Palestinian society in accordance with their own desires, talents and skills.Mission and Objectives
In Palestine, there is no shortage of motivated and driven young people who hold themselves accountable for the development and prosperity of Palestine. Itijah’s mission is to support and empower these young people; to connect them with one another and to various organizations in Palestinian civil society. Itijah offers mentorship, networks, connections and a physical space for young people to make their desired contributions a reality.Main Projects / Activities
Itijah’s vision is to create a space that connects young people who are passionate about volunteerism, activism, scholarship and social entrepreneurship. We envision this space to feel like an extended family where young people are empowered to contribute according to their own interests and skills, and are bound by a common purpose. Most importantly, we wish to inspire the notion that powerful change is possible when altruism is the highest standard and purpose the greatest reward.How can you contribute to the Network in your country?
Since our work involves coordinating activities between a number of cilvil society organisations in Palestine, we are uniquely fitted to contribute to the Network's mission. Itijah's goal is to build ongoing relationships with other organizations with which we share values.Why do you want to join the ALF Network?
We wish to extend our network to include other countries in the Euro-Mediterranean region and to be able to participate in trainings, capacity building and workshops across the Mediterranean. In addition, we wish to invite other organizations to come to Palestine to share ideas and cooperate in common projects.
