Member Spotlights
MBBI calls its members Peace Builders. Our members contribute their time utilizing their skills and experiences to participate in Collaboration Regions and our Programs. We hope that through our Spotlights, our members, individually and collectively, will inspire you as much as they inspire us to continue the important work.
A growing number of international requests reach MBBI for partnerships, services, and projects. Help us build our capacity to say “yes” to these requests; consider joining us as a Peace Builder. For more information on how to become involved and for internship and volunteer opportunities, please contact us at info@mediatorsbeyondborders.org.
