The Witness Institute trains emerging leaders and activists in their 20s to 40s to bring greater moral courage, deeper compassion, and more effective practical skills to their work in a diverse array of fields. We do this through a unique set of methodologies which we make available through our intensive 15-month Fellowship program, and to the general public through a series of lectures and workshops.
Inspired by the life and legacy of the late Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Holocaust survivor, and teacher Elie Wiesel, and building on the success of Ariel Burger's book, Witness: Lessons from Elie Wiesels Classroom, The Witness Institute strives to create a more compassionate and just world.
