The Institute has served as a truth teller, bridge builder, facilitator, convener, interpreter, and resource for best practices. The process has always been inclusive, participatory and collaborative.
Where appropriate, the Institute has linked the local community with outside public policy analysts and experts, other educational institutions, faith-based organizations and churches, civic groups, research sources, public and private leaders, and other organizations with needed expertise or skills. However, the focus has always been on helping the local community find its own solution to the immediate challenge, and in that process, develop local leadership, strategies and tools to sustain reconciliation through different issues over the long haul. The ultimate goal has always been a more enlightened, cooperative, respectful, and civil civic culture.
