The Peace Institute was founded to respond to the need for accurate information about diverse groups and interfaith awareness after the tragedies of 9/11, and works to promote understanding and acceptance amongst people of all faiths and backgrounds.
  
Currently, the Institute focuses on bringing awareness about the social issues that face the general community.

Our Mission
