15 new youth scholars were accepted to start their enrichment, education and volunteering journey at Ruwwad Palestine. The enrichment journey includes a cultural component, a business and leadership component, and a weekly cultural dialogue forum that offers a safe space to discuss youth-related topics with various speakers and policymakers.

In March 2019, nine youth scholars celebrated their graduation from Ruwwad after completing their journey in Ruwwad's Enrichment Program, and giving back to their community through volunteer work and launching various initiatives. The Enrichment Program focuses on dialogue, wellness and business skills to enhance critical thinking, open-mindedness and respect for diversity and pluralism.
