The Center for Citizen Peacebuilding

Since 1999, it has been the mission of the Center for Citizen Peacebuilding at the University of California, Irvine to help citizens seek realistic ways to improve human conditions locally and globally. The CCPB engages in research, education, and action supporting citizen participation in public peace processes. The integration of all three is especially important to the Center for Citizen Peacebuilding in promoting knowledge about positive models for change and fostering constructive public debate.

Center for Partnership Studies

The mission of the Center for Partnership Studies is to advance human development by accelerating movement to the partnership model of relations. The partnership model is a way of structuring beliefs, institutions, and relations that supports the realization of our enormous human capacities for consciousness, caring, and creativity and promotes nonviolence, human rights, justice, and a sustainable environment.
