Seeds of Peace (SoP) is a non‐profit organization that inspires and cultivates new generations of global leaders in communities divided by conflict.

SoP equips program participants with the skills and relationships they need to accelerate social, economic, and political changes essential for peace. Historically SoP has struggled to find inclusive ways to communicate with and engage various stakeholders in major decision and strategy making such as closing programs/offices or responding to crisis. This has resulted in disillusionment, frustration and even public petition.Seeds of Peace is seeking help from HNMCP to create a more effective and inclusive system.
