Volunteer Opportunity/Educational Resource
The Hotline for Israel/Palestine
The Hotline for Israel/Palestine is recruiting volunteers to answer questions, research content for our newsletter, and help with communications and fundraising. We also welcome inquiries from individuals looking to utilize and share our service in their communities, and/or interested in consulting on best practices for conversations across difference.
The Hotline for Israel/Palestine, a project of the Institute for Multipartisan Education, is an educational initiative dedicated to transparent, multi-partisan, and dialogue-focused engagement with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. We believe that lack of information and preconceived notions are barriers to nuanced conversations — barriers that can lead to hate on all sides — and that education and dialogue are the best ways to counter that hate. However, it’s often hard to know where to start.
Through our texting hotline service and educational resources, we teach people how to educate themselves by answering questions, providing resources from many perspectives, and helping people develop their own informed and nuanced positions.
With volunteers from different religious, political, and national backgrounds, we have already answered over 300 questions. Each volunteer is trained in dialogue skills, as well as in how to provide a range of resources from multiple perspectives, to help people come to their own conclusions. We also put out a biweekly digest called Perspectives, which you can see archived here, and list FAQs on the website. You can learn more about it on our press page, and on social media @hotlineforip. If you are interested in getting involved, please fill out this form, click the button below or email info@hotlineforip.com.
