Project Hope is a two-week cultural immersion program in Palestine designed to expose and connect young adults to their ancestral homeland.
Project Hope delegations partake in service projects alongside Palestinian volunteers, visit and meet local organizations serving the Ramallah community, meet elected leaders and government officials, and build connections with local Ramallah youth.
We hope that participation in Project Hope inspires the next generation of people committed to carrying on the mission of Project Hope and the American Federation of Ramallah, Palestine.
The most recent AFRP Day of Action was held in November 2024, following the U.S. Presidential Election, with delegates from all over the country. The group met with congresspeople and senators, and met with representatives from the State Department and the National Security Council at the White House.
The purpose of these meetings was to convey our collective concern for the U.S. response to Israel's ongoing genocide and violation of human rights in Palestine, and to advocate for the advancement of legislation in the House and Senate to protect Palestinian children.
Delegates also have the opportunity to learn and share with guest speakers. In 2024, we had the privilege to hear from prominent Israeli-American Activist Miko Peled at his newly founded Palestine House of Freedom, Dr. John Kahler, co-founder of MedGlobal, and former Biden Administration appointee Tariq Habash, who resigned in protest of President Biden's Israel-Gaza policies.
To participate in Project Hope, participants must:
• Be between the ages of 18 and 29
• Be active in their community
• Be available for the entirety of the trip
• Have the desire to learn about Palestine, Ramallah, and its heritage
• Have a valid US passport
Project Hope Applications will become available six months prior to the trip’s departure date.
