If you are interested in learning more about and/or thinking about becoming a PBI field volunteer in one of our field projects (Colombia, Guatemala, Indonesia, Mexico or Nepal), PBI-USA enourages you to attend one of our upcoming orientation weekends.

PBI has just been chosen to receive donations from The Combined Federal Campaign, the world’s largest workplace fundraising drive.  Each year more than 1.3 million federal employees (military & civilian) donate $250 billion dollars to non-profits.  A new category was set up called Peace and Reconciliation and PBI is among the first to be listed.

If you are a federal employee please designate Peace Brigades.
Our CFC number is 12453.
