About Us
Building Bridges. Fostering Trust. Creating Peace.
For over 40 years, Search for Common Ground has been at the forefront of peacebuilding, working to bridge divides, foster collaboration, and create breakthroughs for lasting peace. We believe that conflict is a natural part of human interaction—but how we handle it shapes the future of our communities, nations, and world.
Our Mission
We are committed to transforming the way the world deals with conflict—moving away from violence and division toward dialogue, understanding, and cooperation. Our work is rooted in the belief that peace is not just the absence of war but the foundation for progress, opportunity, and human dignity.
Why Peace Matters
Conflict impacts every aspect of life, from poverty and hunger to environmental challenges and human rights. Without peace:
- Development gains are fragile and often lost.
- Humanitarian aid can inadvertently deepen suffering.
- Communities struggle to thrive, and individuals face greater barriers to opportunity.
By addressing conflict constructively, we build trust, resilience, and sustainable solutions, allowing people to look past differences, have meaningful conversations, and invest in a shared future.
We Believe in a Collaborative Approach.
Ocean conservation. Research and innovation. Community engagement
Providing Food. Feeding People.
WCK’s work is guided by our belief that food is a universal human right. Both in the communities we serve and in our daily workspace, we uphold and rely on our values to direct us toward fulfilling our shared purpose.
Without peace, development gains do not hold. Without peace, delivering humanitarian aid risks further suffering. Without peace, people have more difficulty exercising agency, seizing opportunity, and realizing their full potential
