I do believe the young people on this program, the Palestinians and Israelis, will be the solution in the future. The future of the Middle East is in good hands with the young people I’ve met associated with this program and I commend you for the outstanding work you have done.

- Congressman Donald M. Payne (1934-2012)

Having heard these young people speak, I feel more hopeful. I feel extraordinarily grateful for these young people and their stories and their working together. I think is a tremendously hopeful sign.

It’s exciting to see the success of New Story Leadership here in Washington as it brings together the future leaders of a new Middle East. Having the two NSL interns been an eye-opening experience, They will be what shows politicians that peace between Israelis and Palestinians is possible.

- Congressman Jared Polis, Colorado 2nd (D)

Happy to give my support to the work undertaken by New Story Leadership for the Middle East. During the dark days of conflict in Northern Ireland, we appreciated the opportunities that were provided to young people from both sides of the community to visit the USA and spend time learning about American life. This helped create better understanding and was one small step in the many steps required to bring peace to our country. I pray for the same outcome in the Middle East’
