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.
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.
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.
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.
