About Us

Since 1999, the Center for Citizen Peacebuilding has been working with ordinary citizens around the world to explore paths to peace and reconciliation, and share what we have learned.

We conduct and support research through fellowships, conferences and hands-on participation in citizen peacebuilding.
We offer education through the University of California, Irvine and training in conflict resolution for a wide variety of organizations, from gang prevention to international negotiation.
We encourage and support citizen peacebuilding in conflict zones around the globe, ranging from the Middle East to Northern Ireland, from the former Soviet Union to Bosnia/Herzegovina.

By integrating all three aspects, we promote knowledge about positive role models and foster constructive change.

The UCI Center for Citizen Peacebuilding is a member of the Alliance for Peacebuilding.
