Grant Description

The Partnership with Youth (PwY) Program will expand educational and leadership opportunities for youth age 14-29 throughout the West Bank by creating sustainable hubs for youth innovation and learning.The five-year, USAID-funded Partnerships with Youth program builds on and expands USAID-supported Youth Development Resource Centers (YDRCs) to create opportunities with and for youth - for active youth learning and innovation in the West Bank.

The program will improve the organizational environment of three existing YDRCs, establish eight new YDRCs, and build a network of youth centers in rural areas.

IREX and USAID will also build supportive partnerships so that youth have better access to educational and leadership opportunities that respond to their aspirations.

Through the improved YDRC structure, IREX, USAID and their partners will introduce a Palestinian Positive Youth Development and Service Learning Approach that will lead to developing and implementing a national youth engagement and participation strategy.
