Seeking Common Ground: Leading the Project

Seeking Common Ground is an international nonpartisan, non-profit organization based in Denver, Colorado. Their mission is to build peaceful communities worldwide—to connect and inspire young leaders, provide them with the skills to become agents for social change, and empower them to transform their communities. Their “people-to-people” programs offer individuals ways to communicate through conflict, transform antagonistic relationships into partnerships, and recognize within themselves the capacity to effect positive change personally, locally, and globally. They are best known for their flagship program, Building Bridges for Peace, which brings American, Israeli, and Palestinian teens together for peace-building and leadership development activities. s-c-g.org
