In a world often divided, Search for Common Ground stands for the power of bringing diverse people together to find solutions. We work to transform the way people deal with conflict, building healthy, safe, and just societies around the world. We do this through building trust and creating collaboration opportunities for adversaries, ultimately leading to breakthroughs for peace. By meeting this moment with Search, you join a powerful global peace movement that believes that all voices should be heard and respected in shaping a better, more connected world and that a collaborative vision is essential for lasting peace.

Search for Common Ground is the world’s largest nongovernmental peacebuilding organization and has been doing this work since 1982. We take a dynamic, unique approach by building solutions that are based on inclusion and locally-led programs. We are community leaders. We are youth activists. We are women. We are peacebuilders. Peace moves at the speed of trust, so we invest for the long haul. When we’re no longer needed, we leave, leaving behind people and institutions with the ability to manage future conflicts.
