Youth

URI youth are at the forefront of social transformation in their communities. As uprisings swept the Middle East and North Africa this year, for example, many in our youth network took to the streets, the airwaves and traditional and social media outlets to demand reform, equality, justice and economic opportunity for all. URI’s Young Leaders Program is equipping this new generation of URI leaders in the Middle East and beyond to be effective agents of change, providing them skills and resources for organizing and action, and connecting them to one another across the globe.

URI Intern Aaron Lerner reflects on Ramadan from a Jewish perspective
