Development Intern

Who we are: 

The OneVoice Movement is a global initiative that supports grassroots activists in Israel, Palestine, and internationally who are working to build the human infrastructure needed to create the necessary conditions for a just and negotiated resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. We believe that a negotiated solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and an end to occupation is not only a moral imperative, but an existential priority for Palestinians, Israelis and the international community alike. 

We believe in the transformative power of active listening, true empathy, community organizing, nonviolent protest, youth empowerment and championing democratic values and norms at every opportunity. We are pragmatic and solutions-oriented, and see localization, grassroots leadership, and diversity as a source of strength. Our partners and allies are organizations and individuals who share these values.
