Programs

The Jerusalemite Youth Cultural Forum has different programs that are implemented throughout the year. Here are some of our ongoing activities:

Youth program

The Forum prioritizes the youth, recognizing them as one of the most crucial age groups, particularly as they navigate through the challenging phase of adolescence, requiring attention and ample opportunities to occupy their free time constructively. The youth program encompasses self-directed initiatives, excursions, workshops, and volunteer opportunities.

School of Arts program

A venue catering to children, youth, and adults alike, fostering the acquisition of new skills and the exploration of unique talents, thereby enhancing creativity through music and the arts. The School of Art program offers a diverse range of artistic courses, including both individual and group lessons in musical instruments such as violin, percussion, piano, guitar, drums, and qanoun, as well as professional painting and photography.

Youth and Children Camps program

The JYCF invests its efforts during school vacations that is when children and youth have more free time. The camps program helps in providing the children and youth with useful time to fill in their free time and learn new skills and go through a very special experience. The camps are conducted in both the winter and summer holidays.

Outreach program

Arts for All, the JYCF initiated an outreach program designed to extend its reach to a wider audience. This program aims to introduce music and arts to children and youth in marginalized areas of Jerusalem, including schools affiliated with the Palestinian Ministry of Education and other community-based organizations (CBOs).

Educational Programs

As part of its commitment to social responsibility, the JYCF hosts educational initiatives focused on enhancing the skills of youth and children, thereby empowering them to pursue more promising career paths. These programs encompass instruction in English language proficiency, as well as training in robot engineering and programming.

Sanad Programs

A program designed and originated to target children and youth with different kinds of disabilities. The program uses music, art and handicraft to help develop certain skills, and provides the children and youth with disabilities with a remarkable and unique opportunity to be engaged within the community.

Women’s Programs

Recognized as a significant influence within the Palestinian and Jerusalemite community, the JYCF focuses its efforts on empowering women through a variety of activities and workshops. These initiatives aim to cultivate and enhance their financial management skills, facilitating the groundwork for them to establish and advance their own careers
