AMENDS The American Middle Eastern Network for Dialogue at Stanford AMENDS has three main components: networking, summit, and the AMENDS Talks.

AMENDS seeks to identify youth leaders who are addressing social and political issues in their countries and communities and who demonstrate potential to influence American and Middle Eastern affairs. Through collaboration, mentorship, and leadership training, AMENDS hopes to ensure that these student leaders are better equipped to affect positive change in the world. Ultimately, we strive to crea

te an online video forum that shares these students’ unique experiences and ideas, and serves as a resource for mutual understanding between the Middle East and the United States. During the summit, delegates will share their ideas, collaborate on their initiatives, and interact with world leaders in workshops, panel discussions, and formal networking events. The conference will culminate in the AMENDS Talks, presentations from all of the delegates on their initiatives, ideas, and experiences. These presentations will be shared online for the world to see (nearly 70,000 people have been reached to date).
