Friends Forever: Creating World Peace with the Next-Generation
Yahav and Shurooq - Helping out with a cookout in Summer of 2011 in New Hampshire.
Friends Forever promotes trust and understanding among cultures in conflict on both local and international levels. With over 1,000 graduates from Northern Ireland and Israel as well as a growing Domestic Immigrant Integration initiative that involves youth from the Sudan, Congo, Dominican Republic, and Albania- Friends Forever does not believe there is one set path to peace, but rather that the number of solutions to conflicts in the world today equals the number of individuals that participate in our program.
In 2012, we are positioned to apply the 25 years of experience we have in conflict management on a grassroots level in Northern Ireland and Israel and translate it to work with communities in the countries of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Uganda among others.
Our mission is accomplished through original and powerful group programs that are carried out in phases both in the US and abroad. Through these unique trust-building processes, Friends Forever erodes the fear and mistrust that divide cultures in conflict to create enduring cross-community friendships. Since 1986 we have worked with over 1,000 youth from Northern Ireland, 150 youth from the Middle East, and are now working with diverse populations and immigrants from US communities. We accomplish this by leveraging the skills, resources, and enthusiasm of individuals and communities across the globe. When it comes to world peace, there is a place for everyone....right here!
