Bonner International Partnerships with Peacework

Peacework is a non-profit organization that coordinates global partnerships for integrated development by connecting the resources of colleges and universities with the needs of developing communities in over 20 countries around the world. Through this model, Peacework has worked for 22 years in promoting sustainable development through intentional partnerships that alleviate poverty and promote prosperity.  

The Peacework Village Network model inspired the collaborative creation of the Bonner Global Village Network, through which Peacework is a primary partner. As a result, Peacework has worked with a variety of campuses in the Bonner Network in developing international projects and partnerships that uphold Bonner community partnership values of strategy, sustainability, and reciprocity.
