Public Service Program
In its inaugural program, Inspire Dreams sent eight American college and graduate students for our 10-week summer internship program in 2010. The interns come from a variety of racial and religious backgrounds as well as undergraduate institutions including Brown, Georgetown, MIT, NYU, and UC San Diego. The interns were placed in in cultural centers in Nablus and Bethlehem where they taught English to refugee youth, lead workshops in their individual fields (i.e. engineering, photojournalism, exercise), and assist the cultural centers with capacity building. They also spent time organizing Camp “I Have a Dream” and “Lead Palestine.” (Learn more)
