00:00 So we work with young people age 16 to 18 across a year-long leadership program where
00:04 we have weekly sessions.
00:05 And through these weekly sessions, we educate young people about the different types of
00:09 hate and intolerance that exist in our community.
00:12 We engage them to feel a deep sense of civic responsibility to want to counter that, and
00:16 we empower them to be advocates for community cohesion, equality, and diversity.
00:20 Currently our focus is on the Israel-Palestine conflict.
00:24 And just last night we had a session where we connected via Zoom with an Israeli that
00:28 lives 30 minutes from the Gaza border and a Palestinian who lives in the West Bank.
00:33 And our young people heard first-hand accounts from these people who live in the region about
00:39 what the impact has been for them and what we can do on this side of the world to help
00:43 them and to achieve peace.
