Anti-Defamation League — Pacific Northwest Region Phone: 206-448-5349 • Fax: 206-448-5355 seattle@adl.org • www.adl.org Contact: Hilary Bernstein, Community Director As part of its mission to fight anti-Semitism and to stand up against prejudice and bigotry of all kinds, the Anti-Defamation League provides award-winning educational programming for students and educators in three areas: 1) “Confronting anti-Semitism programs” for Jewish teens and their families 2) Holocaust education for high school students 3) Anti-bias training and diversity workshops in schools throughout the Pacific Northwest. The ADL knows that Jewish youth in the Pacific Northwest experience anti-Semitism in subtle and not-so-subtle ways. “Confronting anti-Semitism” workshops for Jewish teens and their parents provide practical skills and strategies for dealing with insensitive and derogatory jokes, comments, slurs, and incidents, while building confidence, self-esteem, and pride in one’s Jewish identity. These workshops are designed for religious schools, day schools, youth groups, and camp settings. The ADL also empowers students to speak out against prejudice, discrimination, intolerance, and genocide in the contemporary world. ADL’s extraordinary multidisciplinary curriculum on the Holocaust, “Echoes and Reflections,” provides a context for exploring these important issues. Designed for high school students, the curriculum includes extensive video testimonies from the University of Southern California Shoah Foundation and resource materials from Yad Vashem. The ADL’s A World of Difference Institute’s diversity education resources and anti-bias trainings for K–12th grades are utilized in public, private and parochial schools throughout the Pacific Northwest region. As communities become more diverse, students and teachers from varied backgrounds need to gain the skills necessary to create learning environments that are safe and inclusive for everyone. In ADL workshops, participants of all ages learn to stop being bystanders to become allies for each other. Trainings and resources are available for college campuses as well.

The goal of The Livnot Project is to make Jewish engagement relevant and transformative so Jewish identity becomes intrinsic to self-identity. By placing participants in leadership roles in nonprofit organizations, students experience the ways Jewish values can inform everyday decisions as they move through their own lives in college and beyond. The Livnot Project is a true community school. From Seattle to Issaquah and beyond, the program expects to ultimately provide an opportunity for Jewish youth to gather and engage in an exciting learning environment. Guiding Principles • Relevant and creative • Integrated and engaging • Innovative and transformative • Experiential and flexible Program Description Weekly learning: The Livnot Project is offered five nights per week, offering students flexibility to choose a learning strand that fits with their busy schedules. Participants choose a night when they meet weekly in small groups at non-profit organizations and community institutions for eight-week blocks. The sessions provide time to learn about organizational structures, meet communal leaders, study Jewish thought, and learn vital skills of collaboration and critical thinking to address the social justice strand in which they are engaged. Monthly Think Tanks Monthly sessions allow students to interact with communal leaders and bolster the 21st-century skills of critical thinking, communication, collaboration and creativity, and connect these critical skills to Jewish experience. Retreats and Responses National conferences and global service learning trips help students bring their local experience to a global stage. National conferences and service learning act as transformative experiences that could shape students’ future careers, interests and connections to the Jewish community for a lifetime.
