An Overview of the Peacebuilding Institute
www.peacebuildinginstitute.org

Founded in 1988 by James L. Foster, the Peacebuilding Institute (PI) is a volunteer organization that is committed to maintaining an online network of peace workers all over the world. This is a group of independent organizations from many nations which have chosen to affiliate with the Peacebuilding Institute for the purpose of mutual support and encouragement in our worldwide quest for peace. Each affiliate has its own program and governance and chooses when and how to work in concert with others in ways that are mutually beneficial and which advance the cause of global peace. Each organization is also represented through our website under the tab “Affiliates.”
