WHO WE ARE
Zimam (“reins” or “taking the initiative” in Arabic) is a pioneering grassroots youth movement that challenges the status quo. Taking a domestic approach to conflict resolution, we work with the leaders of tomorrow to build a more democratic, actively engaged, and pluralistic society.
We work across nine governorates in the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem. Our programs empower young people and transform public thinking. We do what we do because we believe that our communities deserve better and because we trust that we have the talent and capabilities to make real change.
Inspired and driven by values of democracy, pluralism, non-violence, and responsibility, we are building the foundations for a peaceful future; a future where we live in a sovereign and prosperous Palestinian state free from occupation.
