Leadership Ramallah 2026 Concluded
We would like to extend a sincere thank you to the Ramallah Club of Lexington and the entire Lexington Ramallah community for their hospitality in hosting us in their beautiful city this past weekend for the 2026 Mid-Year Meeting! Our Ramallah family enjoyed reconnecting in the horse capital of the world and celebrating our rich Palestinian culture together.
The AFRP also hosted Leadership Ramallah during the Mid-Year, which saw 15 young Ramallah adults come together to develop and strengthen their leadership skills. Through various workshops and unique activities, these young adults were given the tools to lead their communities and the AFRP into the future. These meetings always serve as a reminder that our federation is strong and that our strength lies in our connections to one another.
Annually, the American Federation of Ramallah Palestine proudly hosts the Leadership Ramallah program, a vital and dynamic initiative designed to unite young Palestinian American adults from various regions. This significant two-day summit coincides with the Federation's Mid-Year Meeting, offering a unique platform for cultural and leadership development. Leadership Ramallah stands as a cornerstone in nurturing the bonds of shared heritage among young Palestinian Americans.
Building Leadership within the AFRP
Throughout the summit, participants engage in a series of meticulously crafted workshops focusing on leadership, advocacy, and cultural preservation. These sessions are spearheaded by renowned experts in various fields, ensuring a rich and educational experience. The program's agenda is thoughtfully curated to bolster the participants' understanding of their Palestinian heritage and to enhance their skills in community leadership and advocacy. Leadership Ramallah is more than just a program; it's a journey towards strengthening one's Palestinian identity and forging deeper connections within the community.
This initiative is open to young adults aged 21 and older, who are active members (with current membership status) of the American Federation of Ramallah Palestine. The application period for this transformative experience commences each fall, with the program itself being a highlight of the following year's Mid-Year Meeting, typically scheduled for February or March.
