What is Seeds of Peace?

Seeds of Peace is an international peacebuilding and leadership organization founded in 1993. It brings together young people and educators from communities in conflict — across the Middle East, South Asia, Europe, and the United States — at its camp in Maine and through year-round programming around the world.

Through dialogue, friendship, and shared experience, Seeds of Peace equips a new generation of leaders with the courage and the skills to build more just and peaceful societies. Reflect was honored to be part of that work.

The counselor training
