“Working at CMEP was by far one of the most substantive and valuable internship experiences I’ve had. I felt like I was truly contributing to the organization and not just doing ‘intern work.’”

“This summer I was an outreach intern and was exposed to a dynamic range of congregations in the U.S. that are seeking to educate themselves and others when it comes to peace, advocacy, and the Holy Land.”

“As an intern with CMEP, I was introduced to an exceptionally formidable community of faith-based activists working tirelessly for peace and justice in Israel/Palestine”
