Profile Information
- Please feel free to provide a short bio about yourself or the work of your organization (no more than 3 paragraphs)
- My name is Shelby Port, a 23-year old humanist from Seattle, Washington. I am currently volunteer at Neve Shalom – Wahat al-Salam, Israel - A joint village of Palestinian Arabs and Jews dedicated to the peace process, equality and understanding among peoples. I work in the Communications & Development Department, where I am involved in fundraising and developing PR materials.
In June 2006, I received my bachelor of arts degree from the University of Washington’s Henry M. Jackson School for International Studies with a track in Foreign Policy, Diplomacy, Peace and Security and a minor in Women’s Studies. During my undergraduate career, I conducted a month-long research project on Inter-communal Relations among Cypriot NGOs while studying Conflict Resolution in Nicosia, Cyprus;
After graduation, I served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Jordan from July 2006 to June 2007. After studying Jordanian colloquial Arabic, I worked full-time as an English teacher at the Madaba Girls Youth Center and part-time at the USAID Madaba Tourism Development Project in Madaba Jordan. In June 2007, I participated in the Promoting Peace Through Dialogue Seminar organized by Global Majority, a California-based NGO; the seminar consisted of a training course on Negotiation, Mediation and Conflict Resolution and an international conference at the United Nations University – Leadership Institue in Amman, Jordan.
