AFSC supports multiple initiatives in Jordan. We focus on enhancing civic engagement, providing platforms and resources for the support and implementation of community-led initiatives.

Our Shabab (Youth in Arabic) civic engagement program was launched in 2020 with the goal of improving active participation of Syrian and Jordanian adolescents and youth in Jordan. Participants engage in a year-long learning journey that is aimed to improve their civic engagement skills and their participation in decision-making procedures around key causes in their communities.

Guided by the Quaker belief in the divine light of each person, AFSC works with people of all faiths and backgrounds to challenge unjust systems and promote lasting peace.
