About
Accredited as a United Nations Non-Governmental organization in 1996, it is now one of the UN's largest volunteer-based NGOs. It works in special consultative status with the UN's Economic and Social Council, participating in a variety of committees and activities relating to health, education, sustainable development, conflict resolution, and disaster relief, and much much more.
The Foundation engages in a wide array of educational and humanitarian programs that uplift individuals, make a difference in local communities, and foster global change. Often working in association with its sister organization, the International Association for Human Values, Foundation volunteers have brought both physical and trauma relief to several regions of conflict and natural disaster around the world, and, in one region, contributed to the cessation of decades-long violence.
The Foundation also offers programs for youth and teens, business, law and government, prison inmates and staff, trauma survivors, people with depression, and programs for people living with cancer, HIV, and other life-threatening diseases.
The Foundation celebrated its 25th year of service to the world in 2006/2007, with a program in India attended by heads of state, cultural leaders, and more than 2.5 million others. In the U.S., this Silver Jubilee has inspired a renewed commitment to a Stress-Free, Violence-Free America.
