Israeli-Palestinian Conflict & Refugees Internship

My experience with Go Palestine was incredibly rewarding as it was my first time in the region and they made me feel so welcome. Prior to arriving, I was concerned about safety but that feeling quickly left as I was consistent greeted with kindness and care. As for my specific internship, I witnessed and learned quite a lot about the experiences and day-to-day life of Palestinians in the West Bank. I visited refugee camps and how conflict is impacting the lives of those who are displaced. I visited multiple organizations that are working to stabilize and improve their communities. I gained so much insight into what is happening and I highly suggest for anyone to do the same! You won't regret it!

Hi! I'm Sutton, a student from Australia. My three weeks in Palestine were very informative and helped me understand the conflict and refugee situation better. I learned the Palestinian dialect with the help of my patient teacher, Mr. Muhammad, which helped me connect with the people in Hebron. Staying with a host family was another great experience, they were so kind and taught me a lot about their culture and daily life. Visiting refugee camps was both sad and inspiring. It showed me the challenges people face and their amazing strength. This experience gave me new insights, important connections, and a better understanding of global issues. I highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to learn and make a difference.

I spent a month in Hebron as part of the Israel-Palestine Conflict Program. This experience offered an enriching introduction to Palestinian culture, allowing me to connect with incredible people and gain a deeper insight into the conflict. The staff were very welcoming, and the volunteer community was warm and supportive. I highly recommend it!
