About Us

The Palestinian Charity for Youth Economic Empowerment (CYEE) was established formally in 2011. CYEE envisages a Palestine where young people have the skills needed for economic success, as well as the access to broad and durable networks of businesses, entrepreneurs, and decision makers. CYEE believes that providing youth with these opportunities will contribute to building freedom and equality in the Palestinian society and is committed to the strategy that recognizes and attempts to overcome the local challenges with a responsive, tailored, and effective approach to youth. CYEE encourages youth to perceive themselves as stakeholders in the society and to work towards a positive community through advocacy and awareness raising, focusing in particular on women’s economic empowerment. CYEE tailors its programs to address the obstacles women face in the job market and strives to offer them the educational and vocational skills they need in order to excel in the job market.
