Congratulations to our graduating classes!

Congratulations to our graduating classes of Change Agents! The end of 2018 and beginning of 2019 have seen many cohorts graduate from Change Agents programs in their fields— engineers, environmentalists, politicians, and city planners.

Meanwhile, Palestinian and Israeli mental health professionals are now meeting as part of Building Peace and Resilience, a training course designed to improve trauma response skills and aid in reconciliation between groups. USAID was directed by President Trump to withdraw all funding from all at the end of January, that work with Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, and their continued studies have been a matter of uncertainty for the SFP. Despite this, the teachers and students of Building Peace and Resilience are hard at work creating a better and more humane future.

Their dedication is an inspiring example of what SFP trainees and graduates bring to the world— persistence, understanding, and a sincere drive to improve the chances of building bridges, reducing conflict and making a future for Israel and Palestine’s children.
