Communities of Peace are simply communities where an ethic of service prevails, where residents work together to address those needs that have been prioritized by the community. In each of the developing nations where SFP is active, our local staff members have identified specific communities where SFP will work with the residents to support projects that the community has identified as part of a long-term development plan.
We facilitate ongoing local projects throughout the world led by our local teams in partnership with our Communities of Peace. We utilize an asset-based approach towards community development, supporting local leadership in innovative methods towards sustainable local change. In addition to our local activities, we specialize in coordinating safe, meaningful, affordable, and fun international service-learning opportunities for private groups as well as individuals.
