Sharek Youth Forum

Sharek Youth Forum is an independent, non-partisan Palestinian initiative tackling development issues from a unique perspective. Sharek works to develop and empower youth as active participants in civil society and encourages youth to participate in Palestinian political, economic, and social affairs. As a nationally and internationally recognized platform, Sharek provides space for Palestinian youth to come together, develop their ideas, and implement projects aimed at community development and policy change. We envision a generation of youth, empowered with the skills and experience to become not only the foundation, but the leaders of Palestine’s future democratic society.
