Who We Are

We are a New York based non-government organization (NGO) that works at the intersection of communities in conflict. We promote peace through dialogue using direct service programs, advocacy, educational and informational outreach. Founded in 2007, Intersections is a multi-cultural initiative of the Collegiate Churches of New York, the oldest corporation in North America, dating back to 1628.  

Using arts immersion, social marketing, intentional dialogue and other innovative methods, Intersections' work includes projects that promote pluralism in emerging democracies, eradicate ignorance regarding Islam, nurture global peacemakers, dismantle systemic discrimination against the LGBT community and initiate conversation among disparate groups to develop new ways of problem solving for some of society's most intractable issues.
