Youth for Youth is The Together Plan’s social action youth programme, offering young adults, aged 17 to 30, the opportunity to make a difference, not only in their own lives, but in the lives of others as well.
Youth for Youth was conceived in 2010 by a group of young adults, invited by The Together Plan to run a summer programme for an isolated Jewish community in the north of Belarus.
This programme demonstrated the powerful impact we can create by sharing leadership skills with peers, along with contextual knowledge, such as festivals and traditions; how to use Hebrew; lifecycle events; and community projects.
Youth for Youth grows in number year upon year. Today, young Belarusians, having participated in the programme in previous years, are now taking lead roles in their communities; developing projects and beginning to play key parts in the growth of other communities as well.
Each year Youth for Youth runs a summer camp and the relevant training, in order to ensure the camp is as fun and safe as can be.
The camps are organised, supported and run by young adults both from the UK and Belarus.
The overwhelming interest in developing shared cultural discourse enables participants from the UK to enrich their own Jewish experiences/identity and participants from Belarus to learn more about what it means to be Jewish and how to enact growth within their community.
