Mission: Euphrates equips, connects, and uplifts emerging peacebuilders worldwide. Our purpose is to inspire humanity to choose peace. Values: • We are inspired by the Middle East as a cradle of civilization and the place where the global issues of security, energy, and religion and their impact are most concentrated. • We strive to practice the Golden Rule, locally and globally. • We believe the world is interconnected and interdependent. • We believe there is a solution to every global challenge. • We seek to humanize the Other. • We get beyond headlines of despair and highlight the good. • We agree with Albert Einstein’s sentiment that problems cannot be solved at the same level of thinking that created them. Euphrates Institute is a 501(c)(3), not-for-profit, educational organization based in northern California, with over 25 Chapters around the world.
