General Criteria
Applicants should demonstrate leadership potential and interest in listening, talking and interacting with individuals from diverse backgrounds. The program includes group and individual face-to-face discussion on such topics as religion, violence, politics and co-existence.
Since participants come from varied ethnic, religious, cultural, political, and socio-economic backgrounds, each person must be willing to share her viewpoints and to learn from other points of view.
Participants must demonstrate a strong desire and commitment to the Building Bridges for Peace project and its stated goals and objectives. This commitment also includes being available to attend all scheduled events during the summer program as well as making a one-year commitment to the follow-up programs in their respective communities. All programs will be conducted in English. Participants must have competency in speaking English.
Ages
Participants must be between 16-19 years of age.
Gender
This program is open to females and males.
Summer Program Dates
Please contact our office for summer dates as they vary slightly each year.

Participants are not selected based on their ability to pay. Financial arrangements for participants will be negotiated after an applicant is accepted into the program. However, all selected participants are expected to pay some portion of the fees based on a sliding scale.
Special Needs
Seeking Common Ground recognizes the special needs of some participants. Dietary and religious needs will be accommodated within reason. Please direct specific needs to the camp program directors.
Building Bridges for Peace welcomes people from diverse religious, cultural, racial, ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds. Our participant population also includes people with disabilities, alternative sexual orientations and individuals with diverse political views.
