OTISFIELD, MAINE | The Seeds of Peace Camp, which focuses on conflict resolution and leadership development, announced today that clean-up activities to prepare the Camp for its 19th season will take place on Saturday, June 4.
About 100 volunteers from the New England Division of Toll Brothers Inc. will spend the day at the camp. Toll Brothers Inc. is one of America’s leading luxury home builders and Bob Toll, Chairman & CEO, is a member of the Board of Directors of Seeds of Peace.
The camp will be filled to capacity this summer, and one of the key projects will be readying bunks that have not been used for several seasons. Other work will include repairing and renovating buildings and fixing winter damage, as well as painting and landscaping.
“It’s not drudgery, it’s a delight—it’s one of the highlights of the year,” said Chairman & CEO Bob Toll. “We have a great time pitching in, making things better than the year before, each and every year. Everyone loves it.”
“In these fascinating political times, with the power of youth to create historic change on full display in the Middle East, the work of Seeds of Peace could not be more important,” said Seeds of Peace Executive Director Leslie Lewin. “We’re so grateful to the Toll Brothers team for helping us get ready for what will likely be our most important and most challenging summer to date.”
Seeds of Peace is a non-profit organization dedicated to the pursuit of lasting peace in regions of conflict. Our mission is to empower young people with the relationships and skills needed to lead the way towards a better and more peaceful future, free from violence, hatred and fear.
