Talent for Palestine: Networking and Career Development Night

Do you care about Palestine and want to build a meaningful career, network, or professional community around that commitment here in the United States?

You may be a summer intern in Washington, D.C. You may be a student thinking about your next steps. You may be a young professional building your path in policy, media, technology, law, medicine, public health, business, education, culture, humanitarian work, academia, nonprofit leadership, or another field. You may be a more experienced professional who wants to share your knowledge, advice, and connections with the next generation while also building relationships with peers and other professionals across fields.

This evening is for all of you.

Talent for Palestine: Networking and Career Development Night brings together students, interns, young professionals, and experienced professionals from across the DMV who care about Palestine and want to build community across career paths.

As a Washington, D.C.-based 501c3 educational nonprofit, The Jerusalem Fund believes that public understanding of Palestine is also part of American civic life. Conversations about Palestine shape U.S. foreign policy, campuses, media, technology, law, faith communities, cultural institutions, humanitarian work, and public debate. This event is designed to help people connect their concern for Palestine with meaningful professional growth, ethical leadership, and informed engagement in the United States.

Not every career has to be “about Palestine” to be useful for Palestine. Our communities need skilled, ethical, connected people in many different spaces: journalists, lawyers, doctors, engineers, artists, researchers, teachers, technologists, public servants, organizers, development professionals, business leaders, and more.

Some participants may work directly on Palestine, U.S.–Middle East relations, humanitarian issues, or public education. Others may build careers in entirely different fields while remaining connected to Palestine through knowledge, community, service, and principled civic engagement.

The evening will create space for interns and young professionals to meet peers, learn from senior professionals, explore different career paths, and build relationships across industries. It will also offer experienced professionals an opportunity to support emerging talent by sharing practical advice, lessons from their own careers, and guidance on how to remain connected to Palestine while building a life of professional excellence in America.

The program will include brief opening remarks, a short presentation on careers and professional development in the age of AI, industry-based networking tables, open mixing across fields, and optional resume or career-advice conversations with experienced professionals.
