JPB EDUCATOR RECEIVES US PEACEBUILDING AWARD: Dr. Paula Green honored by the Alliance for Peacebuild

In October, JPB EXCEL Educator, Dr. Paula Green, was awarded the Alliance for Peacebuilding Melanie Greenberg United States Peacebuilder Award for her work with Hands Across the Hills - a grassroots project that aims to build bridges across the widening political and cultural divide in America.

The Washington-based Alliance for Peacebuilding, a 15-year-old international organization that has been focused largely on global peace work, decided that Dr. Green's impressive career and recent work with Hands Across the Hills merited the first-ever award.
