Project: Capacity Building Support for Small-scale Craft Producers in Palestine
Location: Nablus and surrounding areas
Teach for Palestine (TFP) is a project that will address the educational needs of the poorest and most at-risk youth in Nablus and the surrounding areas in the West Bank. There will be six locations for the project; these locations have been chosen based on community demand for classes, availability of dedicated partner organizations, and the explicit marginalization of the community within Nablus as a whole. All classes will be centralized primarily in the community centers within the six locations.
Teach for Palestine will place native English speakers at teaching sites throughout the Nablus governorate and will provide teaching experience and one month of in-depth TFP training. Teachers will be expected to stay with the organization for the full academic year. In addition to teaching, it will be their responsibility to assist with ongoing projects at there respective sites. The Jerusalem Fund supported this project because of its multiplier affect.
