What is the Threads Program?

Rooted Threads is a healing-based storytelling and community-building program created for Palestinian, Arab, and Middle Eastern youth who are navigating collective grief, cultural fragmentation, and systemic injustice in the wake of ongoing genocide, violence and rising anti-Palestinian hate.

Rooted in the belief that healing is political and collective, Threads helps youth transform pain into power-and reconnect with the threads that tie them to each other, to their history, and to liberation.

Threads provides a space for young people to process their experiences, reclaim their narratives, and build resilience together. The program weaves in elements of:

Threads is not just a place to heal—It's a space to learn, create, connect, and remember. To stitch back what was torn. To find beauty in what remains.

To imagine what's next— together.
