The Duroob Institute for Leadership Development and Social Growth

The Duroob Institute was formed in 2001, to develop leadership and improve the quality of life of the Arab sector in Israel through a commitment to democracy, equality, justice, a respect for human rights, and the right of minorities to a safe and enriched life.

Duroob believes that improving the quality of life for Israel's Arab sector requires a commitment to all aspects of life in Israeli society: education, culture, welfare, health, local government, environmental issues, public policy, local development, and civilian life.

The goals of the Duroob Institute:

  • To develop strong democratic, equal, just and multicultural society in Israel.
  • To improve the social, economical and political situation of the Arab minority in Israel.
  • To encourage decision-makers in the Israeli government to promote policies that provide equal treatment to the Arab sector.
  • To develop and nurture public service senior staff and leaders in the Arab sector so they can become agents of social and political change in their communities.
Duroob works to develop leadership and equal, multicultural and just society by analyzing the current reality and assessing the efficiency of existing social, economical and political structures. This learning process enables the development and implementation of innovative programs and services which improve community life quality and conditions.
