Hebron YDRC International Internship

Hebron YDRC International Internship

2013 - 2014

The Hebron Youth Development Resource Center (YDRC) is a space for Palestinian youth to develop their skills in different areas, engage with their peers, and become active members of their communities. Located in Hebron-Palestine, the YDRC offers a diverse range of youth programming, designed to empower youth and help them realize their leadership potential.

The Hebron YDRC was established in the Palestinian Child’s Home Club (PCHC), a sports and cultural organization that has worked to build a culture of peace and respect for human rights since 1996. The YDRC model has helped expand programming at the club, and today the center has grown into an indispensable resource platform for youth. The programming offered through the YDRC, coupled with continued sports and cultural opportunities, is helping to create a foundation of leaders to build a stronger community in the Hebron area. The YDRC serves as a hub for youth throughout the southern West Bank, as it is also linked with a network of eight affiliated youth clubs in the area.
