Palestine Option

Middle East Fellowship sponsors summer volunteer and learning opportunities in both Bethlehem, Palestine and Damascus, Syria.

Participants, if they choose, will be able to register for both programs. You will need to contact us directly if you are considering this option.

So, for example, you could spend one month participating in the Palestine Summer Encounter and spend two months participating in the Damascus Summer Encounter program.

You would only need to submit one registration form and a single registration fee (please use the Palestine Summer Encounter registration form if you are considering this option).

This is a great option for those participants who want to see as much of the Middle East as possible during their visit and wish to volunteer, live and study Arabic in diverse environments.
