We conduct and support projects that educate for peace and justice, foster connections and understanding between peoples on global and local levels, promote the use of art and the written word, and encourage and facilitate active, individual grassroots participation in bringing to fruition a positive world vision.
Our work falls into three areas — Gaza Projects, Education & Advocacy, and Scholarships. You can learn about each below, and give directly to the area you care about.
