'The Youth Times' newspaper speaks volumes for Palestinian teenagers

'The Youth Times', a project of the Palestinian Youth Association for Leadership and Rights Activation (PYALARA), is a monthly 24-page newspaper published in Arabic and English by young people, for young people.

Through a comprehensive training program, 'The Youth Times' develops young people aged 14 to 25 into leaders while providing both Palestinian and international audiences with vital stories that speak across borders.
