Our work is grounded in three pillars: (1) mentorship and trusted guidance, (2) practical career readiness, and (3) community and access to networks. We deliver this through three ways people can join: Mentors support participants through structured 1:1 sessions, Trainers run practical workshops or office hours on specific skills, and Volunteers strengthen the program behind the scenes through coordination, resources, communications, and community support. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665e87ace517982cd5e1fcef/1bec568a-eaf5-49e7-b21f-54b1dea0b937/Where+Your+Donation+Goes+02.png Blog - Where Your Donation Goes: Funding Mentorship and University Courses for Displaced Gazans - This is a major part of where donations go.
