Welcome to The Trust Factor!

Trust Factor Forums provide an opportunity for a new generation of changemakers to express their visions for the future and build supportive connections with seasoned practitioners in the field of conflict transformation and community problem solving.

This on-going series of forums aims to:

• Put Trustbuilding across divides of politics, race, economics and religion on the national agenda
• Demonstrate through example what Trust looks like
• Empower and equip individuals as Trustbuilders
• Create a Trustbuilding network of organizations with a shared vision, understanding and language
• Give hope to ordinary Americans and begin to change the national conversation.
