“I began my journey with Seeds of Peace in 2000 as a counselor at our Camp in Maine. The experience changed me—how I understand myself, others, and the world we live in. Perhaps most importantly, it expanded my imagination for a world that could be. Given the profound impact we have in the lives of our Seeds, we have a deep responsibility to continuously strive to make our programs better, operate in alignment with our values, and respond to changing political and social conditions.”
