Peacework
We are a global nonprofit organization that engages communities, academic institutions, corporations, and community leaders in innovative cross-sector solutions for sustainable development around the world. We focus primarily on seven development disciplines that we believe are the cornerstones of community well-being: agriculture, business, education, engineering, health, public service, and technology.
Peacework began in 1989 with the goal of rebuilding communities in Esteli, Nicaragua in the wake of the Cold War. In that first project, we learned that the best way to make positive social change is through diversity of sectors, cultures, and ideas and we have been doing it ever since.
Global challenges require the innovation of diverse voices. For over 25 years, Peacework has expanded the impact of creative collaboration in more than 25 countries. Actualizing the capacity for this kind of change and scale means bringing together the right people and the right resources at the right time.
OUR VISION
We are inspired by the change agent in everyone and believe that working together across cultures and sectors of society is the most powerful strategy for expanding personal, social, and economic opportunity.
OUR MISSION
We bring together dynamic agents of change from communities, academic institutions, and corporations to foster global awareness; apply their knowledge and skills for innovative solutions to global challenges; and ultimately empower people to support self-determination, ensure social justice, and expand economic opportunity.
